Why does my car get warm when I stop?
If your car begins to overheat when idling, but the temperature gauge moves back down once you get going, it’s most likely due to a broken radiator fan. When the coolant goes to the radiator, it’s spread over a large surface area to cool it down. Airflow further cools it before it returns to the engine.
Is the car cooling fan still on when the engine is turned off?
Car Fan Still On When Engine is Turned Off. You park your car, turn off the ignition and start walking away. Then you notice the engine cooling fan is still running even though the car is turned off. It is ok for the engine cooling fan to keep running for a few minutes after turning off the car.
What happens to the coolant when the engine is turned off?
When the engine is running, the coolant circulates from the engine and flows to the radiator, where heat is dissipated. When the engine is turned off, the coolant doesn’t circulate, and the heat stays trapped, therefore prolonging the engine from cooling. Running cooling fans help cool down the engine even after you turn off the car.

Why does my car not turn off when I Turn Off the engine?
Dieseling is rarely a problem with fuel injection because the fuel delivery is shut down as soon as the switch is off. Unless it is specially equipped, a carburetor will deliver fuel as long as there is air passing through it. If you have a fuel injected car that is dieseling, there is a leaking fuel injector in the system that has to be replaced.
Can a block heater speed up the start up time?
The really nice way to speed up heating you car is to get a block heater. They warm the coolant so that when you start the car it is already close to operating temperature and you get heat right away. That should help to reduce start up wear as well. Well, this is a question for a Canadian guy. Here’s the thing:
