Questions?? about driving car when still cold
After starting my car after it sits over night or after work is it normal for the motor to idle at 1200 - 1300 for about 2 or 3 min?
And is it normal for the car to stutter a little after shifting to second for the first time when driving while the motor is cold?

Sometimes my whole front shakes when i shift into first, talk about making you paranoid or pissed/nervous... ive never had the problem you descibed in any gear, but first.

yes it is very important to warm the car up befor driving, especially before boosting.. the evo's stock internals are forged and they need to expand before being pushed... they will heat up and expand to normal opperating tollerances as the vehicle heats up... this is where the whole piston slap termonaligy comes into play.. the pistons cold are smaller then they should be and there is a greater chance for blow by around the rings.. after the motor is warm these areas will expand and close up...
DO NOT boost on a cold engine....
