Idle engine stop question

[tom1016]

When I stop at a red light or stop sign sometimes the engine idle stop shuts the engine off and sometimes it doesn't. I'm very confused as it why this happens. Anyone else experience this.

There is certain criteria (coolant temp, battery level, etc.)that have to be met in order for the system to work. Its all spelled out in your owner's manual.

It is fine let the computer do it’s thing. Mentioned above it has to meet certain criteria. Funny how people do not read there owners manual. There is a wealth of information in there.
