It's called dieseling, the most likely cause is a vaccum leak, mine leak was a shot carb.

Check all your vaccum lines.

Sounds like the timming.

Could be that little anti-run-on solenoid in the carb. The one in my old carb was fuct.

Sounds like timing to me. But I maybe wrong.

Dieseling...just got rid of that problem. Timing can be the cause, in my case it was too high an idle. Once I turned that down, I didn't have a problem. How's the engine temp? A cooler thermostat may help if you're overheating. Hope this helps...

the temp is always at 160-180

Another excellent cause of dieseling or "run-on" is carbon deposits or other "hot spots" in the combustion chamber.

Another thing not to do is to shut the motor off at high idle, especially if the motor is prone to dieseling already. Place it in D before turning the key off or load the engine down with the clutch.

It's also not very good for the motor.

Probally to far advanced timing. Mine did this when the timing was advanced too much. Any pinging?

Choke, choke, choke. If you try to shut your car off at any more than 1000 rpms it will diesel. Clean the carb off, focus on the choke and replace the choke pull-off.

im gona clean the carb out 2moro with gumout spray or what ever else i find, but i dont get somethin, my 89 iroc never done this n my 79 camaro never done it ethier, even my 94 toy truck never did somethin like this, i would use to rev the motor before i shut it off, now with this thing i have to have it at 700 or lower rpm to shut it of.

JoelOl75

Why do you rev the motor to shut it off?
