Someone told me that it was bad for your car to crank it up with your heat/air already turned on. Is this true? or can I turn my car on with out worry. I don't know if it matters or not but i drive a '94 Ford Explorer XLT that has seen some better days(has a couple of mechanical issues) just in case some cars have compensated for the problem ( if there is one).

Well, it's not "bad", but it's "easier" on it to switch any accessories off before starting.

It does pull more energy from the battery.
Many newer cars automatically disengage accessories when the starter is used, until the engine is running.

It won't make a bit of difference.
