Car engine temp's increase at idle primarily because there is little or no air flowing through the radiator coils to cool the engine coolant. This is partly because the car is not moving, and partly because the cooling fan usually will not activate until a certain temperature is reached.

Why would the engine have no oil pressure when it is cold?
this is normal, when the car is cold or off. the oil sinks down in to the oil pan.,. If this is a GM engine you may be using an aftermarket oil filter that allows oil to drain back this is not a good thing and can cause engine damage. GM has a TSB on this very problem.

How do you get your shutter speed to slow down because when I do that the aperture won't work and it makes a dark picture and it won't let me go past a certain shutter speed limit on Nikon 42X P510?
When using a Nikon 42x P510 camera it is very easy to slow down the shutter speed. On the side of the camera there is a dial that you can access to slow or speed up the shutter speed.
Pouring cold water on an overheated engine?
Not a good idea, you may and probably will crack and warp vital parts. Let it cool down on its own before even adding cold coolant into the system.
Why does your car smell like gas when it is running?
because your engine is going to break down or when you start the car if the whether is cold, it makes it smell like gas
Why would your car idle high when cranking?
if the engine is cold the computer says I'm cold so rich up the mixture and speed up the engine via TPS. then once the engine warms up another sensor tells the computer it has warmed up and decrease the TPS signal slowing the RPM down.
A condition where engine power fluctuates up and down?
Surging is the condition where the engine power fluctuates up and down with a continuous, soft jerking motion. When driving at a steady speed, the engine seems to speed up and slow down, without moving the accelerator.
Why does car engine shut down when its cold?

because the airfoil shape makes tiny air molecules at the bottom slow down and the top speed up. The engine just pushes the plane.
What makes penguins so warm in the cold?
Their down keeps them warm.
What makes a car have no power at slower speed but not at high speeds?
Probably a matter of where the engine's power band is set out, or you may simply be bogging the engine down at lower speeds. Try downshifting and keeping your RPMs up a little.
How does gearing down affect the speed of a car?
makes it go slower
What happend to forces when thing speed up or slow down?

How do airplanes come down?
They reduce engine speed and extend 'flaps' which allows the wing to keep lift at lower speed.
