Good mechanic (tuning) eliminated the issue for me.

SHUTDOWN
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
