That reminds me of a question I've been wanting to ask here about EOC: should I wait until the engine is warmed up? I have a downhill run from my driveway to the intersection of my street & the nearby major road -- almost a mile. I have to start up to get rolling, then I can EOC almost all of the way, but I'm delaying the warm-up of the engine. Can anyone think of a reason why I should wait until the engine is warm to EOC?
