Rough shut off...
Posted: July 15th, 2008, 6:56 pm
Every once in awhile when I shut the engine off it's real rough, like kind of a hiccup. It's like the engine runs for one more rotation and then shuts off. It only happens maybe once a month.
Today I had just filled up with gas. I drove home from work (maybe 10 miles), and shut the car off, and the same thing happened. I tried to restart to check it out and it had a hard time starting. When it did manage to start, I noticed that I had lost almost 1/4 tank of gas! Subsequent starts and shut offs were all normal. Just happened once.
So I have no idea what may be the problem. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
