i have the phobia of my car flooding, i always wait til the temp is at the middle before i shut it off. i was wondering how warm does it have to be before i shut it off really? and could i just rev the engine to warm it up faster if i have to get out?

 

if you've gotten the upgraded starter/battery tsb done, its almost not a problem anymore
i shut off cold frequently with no problems.

 

^ yeah, i still let it warm up to about a quarter way just to be on the safe side.

revving doesn't really heat it up much faster, and it's probably bad for it if you go too high.

 

i got the car like 6 months ago, dunno if i have the updated starter/battery how can i tell ?

 

agree

also make sure your ignition system is in good order . Bad plugs will increase the possibility of flooding .
