Not sure what you mean. The engine idles low when it's warm so it wouldn't idle down anymore if I let it alone. I thought that was only for turbos.

For what reason? IF you do some kind of hard run (autocross), it's good to pop the hood with it running for a few minutes.

No need unless your turboed... then the only real reason you cool down is to stop he coke (cooked oil goop) from forming from the melting red hot turbo having oil suddenly stopped flow in it....
