Overheating while idling

I used to subscribe to the 30 second thing until I read this.

It is a fantastic body of knowledge.

That looks like a good read, but unfortunately I don't have time to read the whole thing right now. I'll have to give it a complete look later.

I did give it a skim (a thorough skimming, but skimming nonetheless), and I still disagree with the warm up idea. Warm up before going WFO or even a bit heavy on the throttle, sure. It's not like idling your car in the garage or driveway for any length of time beyond the time it takes to get situated, put on your seat belt etc, is a practical way to get your oil circulating properly. On truly cold days, ok, give the oil a bit to move around, but beyond that, I don't agree.

Thanks for the help, I won't do that again. I waited an hour and a half and restarted the car and the warning light is still blinking. Manual says blinking light means low coolant. Coolant is full, no leaks. Not sure now, may have to bring to dealer to check. Once again thanks to all for the help.
