    Sometimes when I park and turn off the ignition,the car keeps chugging
    and then dies. Any reason? thanks

    It's called "dieseling" - compression ignition is still happening, just
    like in a diesel engine. The most common cause I'm aware of is excess
    carbon buildup in the head - it can continue smoldering and acts like a
    glow plug. Too lean a mixture can cause the head to run too hot and
    trigger it as well.
