I dunno if you guys notice but when I stop (shut off ignition) after driving for awhile, my engine makes a ding ding ding sound. Anyone have any idea what that is?

is it the lights on or key in ignition ding or ding from under the car? if its from under the car its most likely the cats. thats what they do all they are is REALLY hot catalyst bouncing around in there.

if u have a stock exhaust, it makes sounds as it cools down, cuz when its hot its expanded n when it starts to cool down it starts to shrink back, well i used to have that on my civic, but i dunno about urs, i noticed it went away when i put an aftermarket exhaust on

I used to have that sound as well until I removed my cats. Now it no longer does it.

that sound is probably all the oil going back down into the oil pan. ALL cars do it. some are just a little louder than others.

OMG its the cats. as i said before when the catalysts inside get hot the bounce all around. and when you turn the car off the cats are still hot. so therefore they are still bouncing around!! WOW

i say its the cats, heres a good way to find out, take off your cats and drive it around like you usually do, when you cut the car off if it still makes that sound then its the oilpna if not then bingo youve found your problem.

Mine used to do it bad when before I took my cats off. Now that they are off I don't hear it anymore. So cats get my vote.
