What is it? and What do I do about it? Your engine is dieseling. It should have electromagnetic idle cutoff jets which cut off the fuel when you turn th key off. Either they are not working, or they have been removed. The dieseling can often be terminated by flooring the throttle after you turn the key off. This is just a temporary measure. Dieseling is hard on your engine.
