dieseling 86 318
This problem just started, but it doesn't always do it. When I shut the truck off it starts dieseling. Kinda like the car from the movie Uncle Buck but without the backfire and smoke. It started after i hauled a slide in 10 foot camper from the 70's about 40 miles. That wa a week or so ago, and has done this dieseling thing about 7 times since.... what is causing this? everyone is tellimg me th change my thermoustat (sp?) but would that cause it? the onl;y gauge in my truck that seams to work good is the speedo and gas... temp, oil and volt never seam to read different after truck is warmed up or hauling a load. Any help please, i need it....

My 87 w150 does the dieseling thing once in a while too... now im almost thinking that it might be a faulty ignition switch in the steering column not totally breaking the connection well enough to kill the motor but allowing enough spark to turn the engine over a couple few times before it finally stalls itself out. If you figure it out let me know how it turns out!

I really doubt this may be it.
