IT IS ILLEGAL TO IDLE A CAR FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES AND 3 MINUTES IN MD AND DC, RESPECTIVELY. Except in less than 32 degree weather, if stopped in traffic or under mechanical failure.

In VA cars used for public service or for commercial purposes are not allowed to idle in residential areas.

Yeah, we can start with literally every police car out there.  :roll:

When they stop idling, I’ll stop. [/quote]

Those engines are actually made to idle longer than normal cars. [/quote]

Ha ha ha ha ha. Who told you that? You realize they’re the same engine in everyday cars right? There are no special "cop engines"[/quote]

Well, you're wrong. I couldn't remember what my friend called the engine on his mom's car, but looked up police cruiser engines. For calls them "Interceptor" engines today and called them that 55 years ago. [/quote]

The "Interceptor" is the style name to differentiate them between the regular crown Vic and the police model. It’s not the name of the engine. 
They have the same engine and transmission as the ones on the dealer lot. They have an oil cooler so they can run at high speed and different shift points in the transmission. Nothing to do with idling. Ford calls the car interceptor not the engine. [/quote]
