....don't do it. You can rev the engine to 3k and shut down, even on a warm engine, but that's just extra gas. 7k, and you're just being silly/noisy.

On a cold engine, you're better off getting the engine warmed up completely.

wow 7k that completely retarded.

If you rev to 3k on a warm engine its completely useless.

Your dealer meant this: Rev to 3k rpm for 10 secs if youre going to shut it down on a cold engine.

If you gonna shut it down on a warm engine. Let it idle 5-10 secs and turn it off. I havent flooded the car since i have it.

With the new / up to date flash you dont need to rev the car up before you turn it off.
