+1 I know what you mean by that. I just let it find it's idle then then sit there about 3 or 4 mins and then I'm off and I take it slow til it really warms up.

Maybe a minute, then a easy idle run till its GTG. Unless its sitting for a few days then I'll give it 5 extras minutes.

When the narrowband oxygen sensors take over fueling and keep it around 14.7. Takes about 2-3 min.
