    Not sure what you mean? The engine should switch off whenever the car is stationary and when you let your foot off the accelerator.

    Which electric motor do you mean? The one that powers the car? Do you mean the car is revving? If you have gone down a long hill the engine will rev and not use petrol. That is quite normal.

    What is the condition of your 12v battery? Is it old?

    There is an electric coolant motor that runs for a little while after you shut off the car. It's normal.
