the solution can depend on the year and induction type. usually too high an idle speed and rich idle mixture combine to allow a hot carbon chunk in the cylinder to ignite the mix and cause the dieseling. on injected engine its far less common but leaky injectors have been known to cause the condition also

How do you stop the engine from dieseling?
let it cool down a bit before shutting it down,and or tune up. check timing Your engine may be running too rich. Has your gas mileage gone down? try using higher octane fuel There is now straight forward answer for this question, ignition timing,fuel mixture,valve timing,computer prom,and many other factores can contribute to dieseling. A Tech would need more info. to properly diagnose the problem. For example, mileage,type of fuel & ignition system,. I will say that most dieseling can be contributed to poor octane of fuel or timing. I had the same problem on my old truck. When you shut the engine off it starts dieseling.Check the carburetor and see if the bottom butterflies are shutting all the way, if not try adjusting it or find out why they are not shutting . This is the most common cause of your problem.
Why won't my 1995 F-150 stop running?
This condition is called "dieseling" where the engine continues to run on after the ignition key has been turned off. It means that your engine timing is way off ... a complete tune-up of this engine should end this situation.
Why does 1995 Lincoln not shut off when key removed?
When the key is turned off and the engine continues to run normally it is probably an electrical problem like a bad ignition switch. However, if the engine is "dieseling" and the ignition is really off, then the problem may be a buildup of carbon deposits on the tops of the pistons and the head and spark plugs. You might try cleaning or replacing the spark plugs, then use a higher octane gasoline. But to simply stop the dieseling just turn off the ignition with the transmission in 'drive', then shift to 'park' after the engine has stopped turning over. The timing is too far advanced. Take it to a shop and find out why the timing is so far above top dead center.
1967 Cadillac engine wont turn off?
If the engine continues to run after you have turned the key off you have what was called "Dieseling". Checking the timing and set the idle to factory specs should cure it. Shutting the engine off while stopped in drive will stop the engine for now until you get it looked at.
