I let it idle about 1 minute then close my GAV and drive away. Most people leave the GAV a quarter turn open, and I could also because it runs the same as when I close it.

So 1 full turn open for a minute or so then close it almost all the way? Do you think that could be the reason it keeps shutting off?
