Can an engine be too cold?
Here’s the thing, though – just like an engine can run too hot, it can also run too cold. As it turns out, every engine has its optimal working temperature that revolves around 200F, give or take. Most engines can reach temps higher than 100C and survive. However, it’s not something you want to experience regularly.
What happens if you run an engine too cold?
When your car engine is cold, the fuel injectors send more fuel through the system. As the engine warms, it needs less fuel to run efficiently. So the longer you let a cold engine idle, the more fuel you waste and the more you increase the chance of fuel residue build up.
Why does my GMC Savana Van not start?

Is the Chevy Savana running out of fuel?
It ran fine for some time after that, but then would begin to cut out, acting somewhat like it was running out of fuel. If you shut down for an hour or so, you could sometimes drive 100 miles before it would hesitate again. Often I could use it for short trips for days with no problems whatsoever.

When did my GMC Sierra air conditioner stop working?
I had a 2001 GMC Sierra that did this when truck was less the one year old (summer of 2001 is when it was). The dealer had the truck in the shop idling for a long time and the A/C worked perfectly. I told them to take it for a ride and see. So the service manager in an effort to convince me nothing was wrong went for a ride with me driving.
