so in the last couple of weeks my car has developed an annoying problem; when the car gets to the maximum engine temp and you turn it off, it keeps running on and you have to stall the car in order to stop. it doesnt happen all the time, only when the car is really warm. anyone else had this?
cheers,
justin |

| Try retarding your ignition timing a little, also try a better fuel such as premium (Ultimate or Optimax). |

its deffiently a electrical thing...
ive had that problem before and found there was a dodgy connection under the bonnent, someone just twisted the wires together and it was shorting out on another piece off wire...
so just look for something like that... water getting into other electrical places may also be the problem |
