Most car care sources say warm up is unnecessary as modern cars have fuel injection not carburetors. Idling your car is hard on your engine and gas consumption. In addition if you use a synthetic oil it does not change viscosity when cold and does not require heating to flow properly.Warm up should last no more than 30 seconds while you check the window visibility. Starting to drive will heat to the cabin quicker than idling./.

1968 car idle very high when started in park?
Your car will idle high until the engine begins to warm. You could set the idle to be a bit lower, but that may cause the engine to stall out when it's cold out. The engine should begin to lower the RPMs when it is warmed up.
What is it when the car is cold at starting up it wont drive or back up but when your car is warm it runs perfect?
Your car has to achieve operating temperature before it functions as it should. Your heads which contain your valves are cold and don't move as easily as they do warm. This is why your thermostat doesn't open up until it reaches either 185 or 192 degrees. If you have a cold-blooded engine, you have to wait for it to warm up. You can quicken the process by revving the engine slightly. If your car is not cold-blooded, the best way to warm it up is by driving it. If your'e engine is taking a long time to warm up, your thermostat may stuck open, causing the antifreeze to cool the engine before it is even warm. Hope this helps
