So, I'm always paranoid about not shifting out of park before the Air Pump has finished its ritual. Once the car idles down and the pump cuts off, I go ahead and take off... this usually adds a few minutes to my "quick jaunts".

Anyone else paranoid about that or is it safe to "get in and go" (of course keeping the rpms down till warm)

It may be a fluke, but I notice every time I DON'T let it do its thing, I get a CEL when I step on it (even when warm).

Thoughts?
