Why does my car run for five seconds after I shut it off?
Just got my car back from the body shop and now it will run for like five seconds after I take the key out of the ignition. It will sort of rev up real fast then die off, kinda like the warm up on start but when you shut down instead. What could make this happen? I'm thinking that they fucked it up preaty good. The real question is why they messed with anything mechanical when they were only fixing the body panels. The car ran fine before I took it there and had never done this before in the two years I've had the car.

Mine does this also. Strangely, it only does it when the air conditioning is on. I never noticed before I had the air conditioning fixed, so I dont know how long its been a problem. Could be two different problems, but let me know if the A/C has any effect.

I have changed spark plugs cleaned the air filter ran the auto tranny compression fix, and checked just about everything mechanicle on the car and now all I can think of is electrical problems. I am now trying to disable the alarm, but I can't figure out how to do it. My car just came from the shop and they messed it up some how, and I don't want to take it back to them to fix it because they will probably just make things worse. I'm just gonna stert pulling fuses untill something happens. 91 vert.

if it starts the alarm won' t do anything... what pannels did they change? in the front or back? if front make sure you AFM is plugged it. make sure there is no leak between AFM and throttle body. if back pannels maybe check for power at the fuel pump.

could this be caused by leaking Fuel Injectors? Since Rx7's are known for flooding, maybe the injectors are dumping just enough in to detonate and give you a few more revs before dying. Just a theory, probably doesn't hold up to well... but I'm trying to throw some ideas out

Similar but different
My car is a 88 t2 and when I shut off the engine, it revs to 1000~1200 and then it shuts off..
I have had it since after I installed the turbo timer..
And since then I seem to get some sort of fuel flooding problem..
