why is excessive idling bad??
My first GUESS would be carbon build up which could lead to plug fouling, mis-fires, and other irritating / potentially damaging problems.
In Florida, not a big concern. Just a few seconds to plug the stereo in, strap on the seat belt, then go. When I lived in Maine, I'd let the car bring the idle down to near normal before hitting the road. Seemed to work well & never had an engine or tranny failure in any car the family owned.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
