Default My car got possessed

So, I got a little bit cocky today when I drove to work that I was in full disregard of the MPG. I was doing 80-90 MPH with no problem. This car has some pull, lemme tell you!

So, once I got to the parking lot, the car went from battery to ICE and stayed on ICE. Which is weird because I was literally doing 20 MPH. Anyway, when I parked my car, I felt the whole car was vibrating! It wasn't vigorous, but noticeable nonetheless. I got scared, so I turned it off, count to 10 and then turn it back on again (a nasty habit of IT people I guess with computers), then it was fine.

I started to think that the car got upset and sort of telling me not to abuse it anymore. I didn't think it was lurching, so I didn't put it on that post.

Default Re: My car got possessed

I drove my car at 80-90 mph for extended amount of time on more than one occasion and never noticed any issues. I noticed that right after spirited highway driving the car will take few minutes, before it will shutdown the ICE, even if stopped. I would speculate, computer keeps the ICE running so the coolant is circulated during " soaking" all the heat, so no hot spots are present. Something similar to the way normal car would start up the electric fan after you park it and done with driving. Sometimes my car will run rougher than others and I can't find any pattern to it, but it's not related to high speed driving as far as I know, since usually it happens when I get stock in traffic, often from the moment I start the car .
