Engine warm up time
How long should it take for my tbi engine to warm up and its the 4 speed automatic.
It seems like after 15 minutes of 30-50mph driving it only hits 190 on the guage and then fully warms 10 minutes after to 220 on my guage.
Is this normal for 30-45 degree Fahrenheit weather?

Re: Engine warm up time
I think it depends on the car. Mine seems to take a bit to warm up as well. I do let mine sit and idle on high idle in the drive way for a minute or two before going anywhere though. I drive 10 mintues one way to work and it never gets to full operating temp unless I hit every stop light.
