ENGINE WARM UP
Warm the vehicle’s engine and drivetrain before beginning testing. Consistent engine
temperatures will assure your runs are repeatable.
AFTER ENGINE WARM UP
Always leave the vehicle in park (automatic transmission) or in first gear (manual
transmission), with the engine off, and make sure the emergency brake and the dyno
brake are on when you get out of the vehicle.
• Fix any fuel, oil, or coolant leaks that may have shown up after engine warm up and
check the carburetor for leaks.
• Any loud or unusual engine noises or excessive exhaust smoke should be resolved
before continuing.
