Accelerated warm up question
Starting to really get cold out there. How well is the system supposed to work in very cold weather. Mine seems to really sputter and not hold at 3000rpms for that little bit of time. Summer time it would work fine. fluid level looks normal & not low.

I do not care for the accelerated warm up deal. So when its cold I just put it in gear and hold the clutch in to stop it from working until I get some oil pressure, then I let it do its thing.

The ACV has nothing to do with it.
On a series four, the water temperature switch at the bottom of the radiator is the reason it does not work at very cold temperatures.
It's just for pre cat warm up.
Mine works. By God I paid for it so it's going to work.

They were sensible enough to disable the warm-up when it's too friggin' cold. How thoughtful.

This doesn't mean you should keep the AWS on the car. We're not under the same constraints Mazda were, so engine wear is far more of a priority. Unless you specifically need it on to pass an emissions test (i.e. visual), it should be removed or at least disabled by unplugging the solenoid.
