    I have a Prius PIP. When warmed up after driving several miles, the engine does not shut off when stopped . This happens in the ECO mode. Any solutions?

    How do you know your engine is warmed up though? Unless you have a Scangauge or other OBD2 reader device connected to your car (and monitoring coolant temperature), there's no way of knowing when its actually "done" warming up.

    It's interesting that the OP's supposedly been a member since 2005 (!) and the OP is his first and only post so far...
