"I often find that after coasting down a long exit ramp to a stop, that the ICE is still running when I stop. It gives me that oh-so-slight shutdown shudder after a few seconds of sitting still."

oh how i hate it when that happens, even when the engine is warm...what a waste! fortunately, it doesn't happen too often.

as for your comment about ICE turning over but no fuel is being fed in, that is fascinating...didn't know about it. is there some resource online i can look up to get more information on it? if that is the case, please ignore my previous comment...it changes everything. my manual only has a small mention of engine braking and i remember feeling as if the ICE was turned on, fuel and all.
