when i turn off my car, the engine runs on for about 4 secs. It shutters and shakes and then stops. (its an 18R_GU) anyone give me some idea of what would be wrong?? Thanks

shit fuel + too much compression
or
need to clean the combustion chambers
I would try better fuel

im running it on unleaded fuel. it can run on leaded fuel. does anyone know which fuel would be better to use? or would it be best to go for the high octane fuel such as optimax or ultima?

all the flavous of fuel (UL, LRP and PULP) can be consumed by an 18RG (there's a few threads about fuel - search will find 'em).
the high octane PULPs will simply give the car a little more go at higher RPMs (or when undertaking any sort of brisk driving) and someimes make idling a little smoother.
as for running on... any of the above listed.

the higher the octane rating of the fuel the less 'flammable' it is (more potential or stored energy). Better octane will reduce running on and reduce the carbon build up in your cylinders (the carbon promotes running on).
As said above, try less ignition advance, better fuel, and maybe a lower idle speed. Different heat range spark plugs can help, and maybe a combustion flush with decarbonising solution.

well the problem seems to have fixed mostly. all i did was but shell unleaded in, instead of caltex unleaded. but im going to change to optimax very soon. thanks to all for the tips.
