Default high idle question

this may have been answered before but i have yet to find it. I am wondering if it is possible to create a high idle that co relates to engine temp? so it bumps the idle up once oil pressure rises and keeps it there till a prescribed engine temp?

Plug it in or get a aftermarket heater for the coolant system. There is a thread in the main forum talking about this.

Lol. Stupid is not realizing there is no solution to your problem other than aftermarket parts; or gaining access to 110v. I gave you an answer and you bitched and moaned about $$$ amount. Keep on searching while the answer is right in front of you. Who is the idiot now?
