Why does engine continue to run for a few seconds after ignition is turned off It is not dieseling?

It could be a serious carbon build-up in the cylinders, which glows hot enough to ignite the fuel even when there is no spark. The only reason the engine stops when you turn the key is that the spark stops. So if something else can ignite the fuel, the engine will run.

Why chugging or clunk for a few seconds after turning off ignition 1989 Corolla Wagon?
The term for this is called "dieseling" ... nothing to do with a diesel engine, rather it's a timing issue with your cars engine.
Why is it your 306 hdi run on after you switch off engine?
A 306 HDI may continue to run after you switch off the engine if the ignition timing is set improperly. This will force the engine to continue running for several seconds.
What makes an older Johnson 60HP motor keep on running after the ignition is off and the spark plug wires disconnecte It also revs up to more than normal RPM's?
It sounds like your engine is "dieseling". It's where a gasoline engine runs after any normal source of ignition is removed. Dieseling is often caused by carbon build up in the cylinder (on the head). After the engine has been run, the carbon stays red hot and continues to ignite the fuel.
Why would a car continue to sputter after being shut off?
Several things can cause this phenomenon, called dieseling. Built up carbon in the cylinders, incorrect timing, an overheated engine, a lean carburetor setting, or a fast idle can all be contributors to dieseling.?æ
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 would a 1982 Chevy van not turn off after the ignition is turned off?
It doesn't want to, It's not done running yet... :) Check the ignition timing with a timing gun. When the engine continues to run after it has been shut off the problem is known is dieseling, or pre-ignition. Hope that helps.
Your 2001 Neon runs for a couple of minutes after turning of the ignition and removing the key then finally stops. It starts without a problem. Help me please?
Dieseling Engine overheating? Engine idling too high? Try a higher octane fuel?
What cause a car engine to be still running whilst switch off?
With a carburetor-ed vehicle it was not uncommon for an engine to continue to run after you have turned the key off. It was called "dieseling". It could be caused by excessive carbon built up in the combustion camber, incorrect ignition timing, idle speed set to high, an overheated engine or all of the above. With the advance of electronic fuel injection that condition doesn't or shouldn't happen anymore.
Why would the engine still be running after the keys have been pulled out of a 2000 Kia Sportage?
Because the ignition switch is defective. If not, then you may be be "dieseling" - meaning run on of the engine - that is BAD and you have to find out why it is doing that - usually something is misadjusted in the engine's carburetor or fuel injection system (usually a mechanical control)
Will bad sparkplugs affect your car turning off or could it be the ignition coil?
Probably neither. I'd assume it's a condition called "dieseling" or "run on". If the vehicle is carburated it will continue to draw fuel as long as the engine runs. When an engine gets a little older it builds up deposits on the piston and valves. The deposits get hot, glow red and when the engine is turned off, fuel mixture comes in contact with the glowing deposits and keeps the engine running... sort of.
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.
Does engine light come on with ignition on fiesta td 02?
Yes, when you turn on the ignition the Check Engine light will come on for a few seconds to show you the light is working. It will go out if no problem is detected.
