Another reason my car sucks sometimes

Sometimes when I do engine off coasting the engine will randomly come back alive. It's happened twice so far.

Today I was paying attention to getting stopped and being happy cuz I went like .5 miles and two minutes, then when I go to restart the damn thing is on already!!! I dunno what happened, just raging about it I guess.

I think it might be some ****ty wiring on my push start but I dunno for sure.

If I kill the transmission

If I kill the transmission then it's dead. I don't care. I'm going to throw it in the trash soon enough anyway.

I know that. But you don't

I know that. But you don't want to kill it in the middle of the street. Towing is expensive.

What happens to me sometimes

What happens to me sometimes is that I key off and then on too soon and the engine hasn't completely stopped. It pops back on. Sometimes I dont realize it. My guess is that is what happened to you.

I prolly will. I will strictly plan the day of the swap, then when everything comes together to do it, pull out into the street and destroy the tranny.

I might have jared come up

I might have jared come up and help me do it when I get a clutch since he lives so close, but I dunno, still looking for an internship in a shop, which would be ideal.
