It could be a bad connection at the ignition switch or a bad key tumbler. Or you could also have leaking fuel injectors. Which would make the engine continue to run for a little bit after you turn it off because the cylinders are hot and you have compression. But if you had leaking injectors you would probably be able to smell more gas than normal out of the exhaust while it's running normally. How long does it continue to run after you turn the engine off? If it dies after a little while when you turn it off it will more than likely be the injectors but if it continues to run and you have to take off a battery cable or disconnect something else to turn it off than more than likely it is the ign. switch or key tumbler.

Engine flooding

Check the fuel pressure. The pressure regulator may have gone bad and is delivering too much pressure to the fuel rail, thereby flooding the engine.

1997 Toyota Truck 4 Runner 4WD 3.4L EFI DOHC 6cyl, blown head gasket?

Could be a blown head gasket. You might also need to "burp" the system. When the vehicle is completely cooled down, try taking the radiator cap off, topping off fluid, and start the engine. That should help get air out. If it starts bubbling and shooting coolant out, something is wrong. You could also try running without the thermostat or just go ahead and replace it. They aren't usually expensive.

I have 2000 Avalon xls. i faced several problems with the check engine light. It came on and my engine started shacking hardly for several seconds and sometimes minutes. i did a check and the computer came...

When the Check Light Flashes vs: being on steady,
you stop using the vehicle, as that indicates a misfire
bad enough to damage the Exhaust Converter

So obviously, you should have gone to a repair shop
a long time ago & resolved whatever issues are there

Car would not start for wife she had it towed home I tried next morning it started first try and sounded fine, check engine light has been coming on when fueling it has gone out added injector cleaner...

My first thought is that you may have a fuel filter issue or a fuel pump starting to go south. The part about the battery could be a dirty terminal, loose cable or the battery is giving up. Clean the cables and check fuel pressure. I would try to see what trouble codes are stored and address them as well.

I was driving down the street and the signal lights both stop functioning .. Parked car and was gone approximately 15 minutes. Started car and my signal lights are functioning again. Make a 2 minute stop...

Check your battery terminal's, check woltage when engine is off on your battery, check voltage when running. Could be alternator, battery ior something wrong with charging system.

My 1997 Dodge mini van will not start. When I do

The flashing check engine light would mean that the engine is misfiring, If you have a scanner, use it on the diagnostic port of the engine to check for the error code to get which cylinder is misfiring and if there are other errors that needs to be checked.

Check all the connections to the BCM for corrosion, and spray some WD-40 on them and wiggle them. See if that changes anything. Look for loose connections or damage.
