My car just started acting up a few days ago. The car starts fine with the turn of the ignition but when i go to shut it off I can remove the key from the ignition but the car continues to run for approx, 45 seconds then shuts off. I also realized today that if i shut it off while rolling it will shut off immediately. Appreciate any incite!!!

 

Welcome to the forum,Do you mean the motor keeps running or the coolong fans continue to run?

 

I finally figured it out last night. The guy i bought the car from had installed a turbo timer and it was in my glove box and buttons must have gotten pressed and set it on 30 seconds.

 

if you have a turbo on your engine, you need to keep the engine at idle for a few minutes after a hot run, or you will coke up your oil bearings in the turbo due to high heat. This would be after a good long run. If mostly at idle around town and a slow drive to the home, the turbo will not be so hot. Still need to cool the turbo off for min coke of the bearings.

 

Na its not turboed yet. lol
