So your engine stay running after you turn the key to the off position? Or does your cluster just stay on?

'dieseling' can occur if there is excessive carbon buildup in the combustion chanber, the engine will keep running after the ignition is cut (like a diesel). You might try throwing some injector cleaner in the engine to clean things out, or pull the head if you feel so inclined

If you have a build up of carbon in your engine you should go out and get some "Sea Foam" I've only seen it at Napa stores but it works wonders on dirty engines!
