AWS lol
So we all know the 3k Accelerated Warmup that kicks on when we start our cars after long periods of inactivity.. Well, I always thought the point of that is just what it says, to accelerate the warmup process. Odd thing, I noticed my car doesnt do the AWS in cold weather...just starts and lays at 1.5k lol.

AWS is bypassed if you start in anything but neutral on the shifter

C.A.R. i was getting off work tonight and my car had been sitting in the cold for about 5 hours... i remembered what you had said about tapping the gas and when i started it up... it shot to 3k rpms. sure enough when i tapped the gas it dropped down to a very nice idle and i sat to let it warm up before i drove away. thanks for the tip man. later.

Huh, mine only does it for like 10 to 20 seconds. Mine also goes up to 4 or4.5k. All I have to do is put it a gear and it will quit, but I don't mind waiting. It gives me time to light my cigarette. I also live in central Fl so I guess it doesn't need as much time to warm up.
