dieseling typically indicated timing that is too retarded causing run on after the engine is shut off. I would check that as well. Remember to pull the one wire connector as well to pull out computer timing when using a timing light. It's a brown-ish wire near the master cylinder or by the A/C evaporator depending on what year car it is.
