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
