Usually when i turn off my car, it just shuts off right away. But, lately it takes ONE complete second before if turns off right after i turn the ignition, like you can see that RPM meter trail down. Also, right before it turns off, my check light goes on but doesn't completely turn on, the light was dim, but still turns off after. What is that?

what kind of car is it? and what year?

 

1991 Integra. And just had a fresh tranny swap. Oh, and OBD-0, if that helps too.

 

I think that's known as "dieseling", where the engine continues to turn a few revolutions after you shut it off. Have you been having any problems with mis-firing while the engine is running?

 

No missfiring at all. Do you think it could be the main relay? Cause when the check light goes off there isn't a CLICK and my car wouldn't start. i didn't want to keep cranking it cause it might expletive it up. And i was told to hit it a few times, i tried again and the CLICK was there and my car started again. What do you think?
