Ok so when i get to a gas station I go to switch the car on, but then I move it to the acc on position so I can still listen to the radio. My car shuts off and then restarts itself again. Is this because I dont give the car enough time for the motor to spin down? What gives? Seems like a dangerous situation if the car bucks or something.

 

your car is haunted

 

damm, im gonna call the exorcist when I get home.

 

yeah or call ghost busters

 

+1 On Ghost Busters...

 

anyone have the number or a contact there? How far are they from northern NJ

 

okay to be serious if the problem continues contact the dealership, if you are still warrented.

 

My old GTI used to do that. When I shut it off and switched the ignition on without cranking the starter it would "self start". Turns out that the car was running rich and that when I shut it off there was excess fuel in the chambers. By switching the ignition on I provided enough juice to the plugs which caused the un-burnt fuel in the chambers to ignite.

Maybe you have a similar issue.

u have a turbo timer? mine did that when i turned to acc really slow it would start again but when i flipped the key quick i didnt.

 

Turbo timer would keep the car running. long enought to burn the excess fuel. so that would be a good envestment. and could be the possibility of having TOO much fuel in there.

 

no turbo timer. I am gonna have the dealership look at it this week. I have a long list of issues they need to look at

 

no ghost, you've got GREMLINS!
