    one more thing, normal ba sa car ko (honda civic) na lampas ng isang guhit dun sa gitna ng temp at hindi sya bumababa, kahit na tumatakbo ako sa expressway for example sa slex or nlex. Sa toyota corolla ko kasi pag tumakbo ako ng highway bumababa ang temp ko. bagong overhaul ang radiator ko, gumagana naman ang radiator at condenser fan ko. please help me guys.. thank you!!

    Unless, otherwise specified by the User's Manual...just switch off the engine and pull out the key.

    Rev pa? Urban legend lang yan.

    I think the revving is only done with carbed units? Or something along that line.

    If you have a turbo, let it idle for a few minutes before shutting it down. That way the turbo has a chance to cool down as well.

    This is so true. Kaya nga, medyo cool lang akong mag-drive pag malapit na akong magpakarga ng diesel dahil ayaw ko nang i-engage ang turbo.....

    Just switch it off! That rev the engine bit is a throwback to the carb days, where it helps to leave a bit of fuel in the chamber to help in your next start. Remember the last car where you had to pump on the gas before you could start?

    yun pag rev sa mga old, old, old car pa ginagawa yun, and yun pag cooldown eh pag naka turbo ka, since I assume stock naman ang engine mo and relatively bago rin, so just flick the key towards you and off you go...hehehehe

    pero napansin ko yun driver ng parents ko ganun pa rin mag off ng kotse rev muna, oh well can't teach new tricks to an old dog or driver....

    pansinin niyo mga drivers niyo especially yun may middle age na, ganun pa rin mag off ng engine kahit EFI na yun minamaneho nila...
