Also, perhaps minimum idle?

 

You could also have some carbon build up in your motor.

WHat engine? If you have a fuel-injected engine, you probably have a leaky injector, to be able to get fuel to let it run-on like that. If you have a carbureted car, then check your timing, idle speed, tune-up, etc....

make sure you dont have the diesel 305 option with extra torque package, or maybe put diesel fuel in by accident.

Sorry, I'm an idiot

 

If you added an aftermarket cd ignition, install a diode in the alternator 'exite' wire to block reverse leakback keeping the ignition from shutting off.

 

LMAO, yo ubeat my record - the longest my car ever dieseled was about 20 secs... :P Try running a higher octane fuel.
