the engine heater stuff for an injected engine seems redundant for thier design..they are all delayed "up top" meaning they hang onto heat...gathers fast. If you have a carb engine,or small diesel, the heater is always a thought. the oil may never even warm up sometimes...

I spotted a 200w volt reducer from 120 to 12v(power invertor.) start the cold car, plug that in right away, and have something 200w heater related near the air intake, the engine takes care of itself after that...faster than the heater. The engine loses heat to its timing and design.. hence some may call some cars warm and other's not, even with the same engine and good heat system (no errors).

I seek one for an old carb...I have the invertor, needs a wiff of warm beyond the hot choke to speed up frigid starts...simply.What to plug in...
