[DeTomaso] DeTomaso Digest, Vol 87, Issue 28-DIESELS AT SHUTDOWN

[Bill Lewis]

John,  I did have my foot on the brake when I turned my key off, but it still dieseled. (It seems that it was idling rather high.)  The next time it did not diesel -  I noticed that the idle was lower.  So, why would it idle at different rpms, less than 20 minutes apart.   ----Bill
