Can some technical guy tell us, what's the best way to start up the engine? I don't know much about engines, but it seems the first few seconds you start the engine are critical, because the engine is dry from oil and it probably takes few revolutions to pump the oil up... So is it good to press the gas pedal somewhat to bring the RPM up quickly, or is it better to just let the computer figure out how much throttle to apply? (what the computer does may not necessarily be the best for the engine, because the computer is concerned with pollution standards, etc.)

Thanks,
Zajo
