Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General start the car and go or let it warm up

I know this doesn't cover the car warming up from cold but it is pretty close

the graph is of OBD sensor data for engine temp, this sample is only around 3 minutes in time and it was a 50 degree day, the engine temp started around the same temp and of course 190 is about operating temp

car was a 99 SE Sport




edit: almost forgot I let the car warm up alittle then I started driving it

as a rule i try not to get on the car real hard until the temp guage has entered the normal zone
