Possible Idea, Shut off Button?

It seems the best way to avoid flooding is to shut down the engine when it is warm and while you have the RPMs at 4k.

How about a shut off button that will wait until the engine is at a certain temperature, then it will rev the engine and shut it off? The biggest issue I see is with the clutch. I know there is a saftey which can be disengaged to allow the car to start with out the clutch (I did this on my 96 corolla for a remote starter) but can we send a signal to make the car think the clutch is engaged? This way we can leave the car in gear. There would also need to be a saftey to make sure the emergency brake is on.

What do you think?

A turbo (or auto) timer?

There is a switch on the side of the tranny that tells the PCM if the car is in gear....

I don't know about this one. Safety issues abound...
