Batteries tend to perform best at about 70 degrees, according to Car and Driver. When temperatures fall, battery performance degrades, with some owners reporting a 10% to 20% reduced range when ...
The gauge and cold junction are usually calibrated at room temperature, 72 °F (22 °C). Because the thermocouple is calibrated for room temperature, the gauge readings will only be 100% accurate at that engine compartment temperature. If the engine compartment temperature is colder, the CHT temperature will display higher.
You may idle while waiting in a drive-through line, picking up a curbside order or dropping off the kids at school or when you're stuck in standstill traffic. Though idling is common, it's not ...
Idle reduction describes technologies and practices that minimize the amount of time drivers idle their engines. Avoiding idling time has a multitude of benefits including: savings in fuel and maintenance costs, extending vehicle life, and reducing damaging emissions.

Cadillac Eldorado cold start. A cold start is an attempt to start a vehicle's engine when ambient temperatures are much lower than its normal operating temperature. [1] A cold start can be difficult for an engine due to higher viscosity of oil and fuel in cold temperatures.
Gasoline heaters require an intake source of fresh air, and exhaust combusted gasses. Due to the toxicity of the latter - carbon monoxide in particular - it is crucial to prevent spent gasses from entering a vehicle's interior. Other combustion byproducts include soot, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and some carbon monoxide.
