Remember, of course, these are fuel injected and computer controlled vehicles. There's no "choke" to speak of as there was in a carbureted vehicle. If the ECU is programmed to run the engine this way on start, we're pretty much stuck with it, unless you're sufficiently prepared (and knowledgable) to start getting into the fundamentals of reprogramming your ECU's brain. On the other hand, Toyota is very well aware that long-term durability is their stock-in-trade, and thus, I doubt they'd allow their vehicles to do this unless it was essentially harmless. I have no evidence as to the trans, but as you can see from my used oil analysis results, see links in previous post, our 2UZ-FE is holding up quite nicely and showing very, very low wear numbers. I'm not worried.
