How many minutes a vehicle should be warmed up?

It takes five to fifteen minutes for your engine to warm up while driving, so take it nice and easy for the first part of your drive. Performance cars often enforce this for you with a graduated rev limiter that doesn’t allow you to use the car’s full RPM range until the engine is up to temperature.

How long should you warm up your old car in the winter?

Why does my car idle at high idle?

If this tube becomes loose or broken it can leak un-metered air into the engine effectively causing an unbalance (via the mass air flow MAF sensor) in the computer system which can produce fast or slow idle.
