Celica Forums General Discussion General reving engine

ok my gf father puhed down on the gas of my old explorer everytime he starts the car its automatic...what is the purpose and could it be damaging in cold weather since everythig is pretty much but ass cold or is this just stupid question...i thought revving your ening with an wuto was bad...but what the hell do i know lol

I rev mine once in a while & haven't had any problems. Maybe he does it to pump gas in the engine 'cuz it's but ass cold Or maybe you're thinking too much & need to lie down before you hurt yourself

my mom has an explorer and they are crappy trucks and my dad had to rev the engine cuase other wise it would stall cause it is crap so that is why he did it so it might be the same reason. other then that i think he wants to race ya

What's your gf's father doing driving your car?

Don't put the gas down on your celica when you start it. Fuel injected engines don't need that. You'll flood it. Only older vehicles need the gas down all the way.

some old cars you gotta give it gas to get it to start.

Old american crap

has nothing to do with the nation of assembly, it has to do with the choke on the old carbs on cars, you held the pedal down to engage the choke so it would start when cold. this was before the invention of the oxygen sensor, and the computer controlled air to fuel ratio

k got yah...he is driving my old car ...they bought it from me and i used tht money for the downpayment on the celica! nice huh...so reving in an auto is bad and pointless unless it is old and buttass cold lol gotyah

dont rev your engine high before it's warmed up because the oil hasnt had enough time to cover everything... it creates wear and friction.

how bout before you turn off your engine? i see a lot of people stomp on the gas before they turn offf theyre car.

that's for older cars, they're making sure the fuel line has fuel, easier for the next start up.

yup
