Default car runs with key off

Got home a few min ago put the car in reverse and shut the car off and the car was still running till i put the tranny in neutral. Then the car shut off.
Any ideas? It might be something simple but I have never had a car do this before.

Car
90 civic sedan lx dpfi stock
5 speed
