he almost panicked becoz the engine wont start anymore, i just shifted the gear from D to P the engine went back to life

thats the negative thing i have noticed with CVT so far
is this the new version of engine brake in an AT? heh heh.
no, you can't start the engine if it's in D; you have to put it in P or N or put on brakes (i think; i forget). cedia 2003 cvt..
OMG this is a very dangerous situation ,,,namamatayan engine !!! Kung airplane yan mirage mo crashed ka na tulad ni Robredo . Pag namatay yun engine apektado braking system mo dahil sa hydovac . Balik agad yan sa casa !
