According to the '04 book the engine will restart if you release the brake or make any change to the transmission - even going from Drive to Neutral. Is this different for '03? And this is exactly what happens in my car. When I come to a stop and the engine turns off and I am getting out of the car I always turn the power off before putting the transmission in Park, as to avoid the engine restarting right before I turn it back off.
