I have been doing a lot of brainstorming on the issue with rotaries about turning them on and a few seconds later turning them off before the motor is completely warmed up which in turn causes flooding.
Ill be sitting around 'trying' to come up with a schematic on how you could possibly have the coolant temp sensor (or something that knows when the motor comes to normal operating temps) control when the car turns off
(like a turbo timer, but it wouldnt be timed, it would cut off once engine was warm enough).
I couldnt find anything on this, or if anybody has come up with it, but what i have come up with so far, in a very general form, is the engine would cut off once the coolant temp sensor reads normal temps, and if last case scenario, you just have to cut your engine off before the car can be completely warmed up, you can have a kill switch to cut the motor off.
can you guys see any problems that this may cause, issues people would run into?
and big thing, if this is possible, can someone cure my writers block on how to create a system like this? if it is safe of course
