Fuel Cutoff?
fineLatio:
it's not called an oil temp indicator for nothing right? the tempeature sensor is there to check that the car (engine oil) is warmed up to optimal operational condition before the blue light goes off.
If that is really unneccessay, why wasn't an engine oil flow LED indictor built instead?
clarence:
The blue light is an engine temperature indicator, not an engine oil temperature indicator.
Jazz:
It water temp not oil temp. :smile:

its water temp bro. sometimes in cold country the water will freeze and cause the coolant to freeze up and the engine can't start. singapore is not a big deal. just start the car and u will realize the RPM is quite high, let the RPM settle down and u can actually drive off already. in fact you can drive off immediately. just do it slowly and by the time u get out of the carpark, the engine is already starting to warm up a bit.

Some correction, even if the coolant freezes (although seldom will freeze unless sub zero temperature), the engine will still able to start. For a engine to ease of start up depending on spark plug, you can change to a cold plug for cold start. Once engine start, the coolant will be "defrost" anyway. Engine oil will aid in lubricating plus a secondary role of cooling the engine as well. Hope this info help to clear all misunderstanding. :smile:
