Its not winter yet!! Winters not too bad in Maryland anyway! I wont see temps under 15*F, Well we didn't last year anyway!!
And my engine WILL overheat with this setup. as long as I keep the engine off and the heater on were good! Any trip over 50 miles has to be aggressive P&G the entire time. No idling either. It will quickly overheat on idle.
Every morning I get in my KIA, Drive out of the driveway, Accelerate to 20MPH, EOC, Downhill, Bottom 40MPH, Either pass the light or wait at the light. 1000FT down, redlight, bumpstart, right turn on red to a very short merge ramp Accelerate to 55-60 MPH then 45-55-65 P&G
This seems too stressful for the old KIA 1.8 !! And I bet it burns a lot of fuel too!
I need an electric heater
Amazon.com: Kat's 24150 150 Watt 4"x 5" Universal Hot Pad Heater: Automotive
or more warm up time before the ramp.
Or I just say **** it and keep the engine off as much as possible.
