Default Cold Engine???



when the engine has just been turned on or the engine heat meter is not all the way at the middle yet... is it bad to give the car full throttle. i heard that you shouldnt go over 3500 RPMuntil the engine is warmed up but im just checking if that really matters. I mean ive done it a few times but if its not good ill stop. One more thing.... what is the actuall point to were u have to shift gears. on the speedometer it shows right before 6000 but ive passed it a couple times... is that alright?</P>


thanks</P>

My car is an auto, but I'm pretty sure if there's a mark on the RPM gauge at 6000, it isn't to shift. You should be shifting before then.

don't rev a cold engine to 6k or even 3k if using syth. give it about 2-3 until it's like o outside maybe another min....
when just driving I shift arond 2500-3000 in 1-2 about 2k in 3. I never really look @ my tach it's just a feel I get and I hear my engine..it's a learning thing

Always warm your engineto at least 160*before getting on it. In drag racing, burnouts not only clean/warm the tires but they warm the engine as well. Although methanol rodded engines get hot quick.

Take my advice though it's not like you are going to see your piston shoot outta your hood doin what you are doin. Do what you want but when it breaks don't blame me.<IMG src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0"></P>
