'mazda rx8' isn't a good thread title. This thread is about shutting off an RX-8

OK so i researched in my hopes to find what the proper start/shutoff procedure is.
There seems to be pros and cons to almost all of them, can anyone tell me what the proper procedure should be.
there's also a you tube video that says to rev engine hold gas pedal then to shut off the engine while holding the gas and reeving.![Confused](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/confused.gif)
By tho way i have a 07 Rx8. I would like to prevent any flooding.
Thanks

I gather you haven't read the New Owner's thread yet? This question has it's own section.

I HATE SPEEDBUMPS!
Mine doesn't flood even though i accidentally shut if off when cold. Some of them flood, but mine doesn't, and i don't know why. You could drive it like any other car out there and turn it on and shut it off like any other car...that's it.

My - do you have the owner's manual and Quick Tips guide? If not, download them from mazdausa.com. The QT guide gives the proper start/stop procedures in a nutshell.
Be careful about on-line info about RX-8s other than this site. Even here there are a few jokers, but they usually get corrected quickly.
