Noticed a new behavior today when I was trouble shooting a oil pressure spike….
Car was warmed up after a little idling – pressure 55 psi
I rev’ed the engine a little 2,500 rpm’s – pressure 60 psi
All seemed OK so I turned the key off
Then the behavior….
Engine almost stopped
Went into what I thought was called “dieseling”
Even seemed “I’m not too sure” that is might have ran backwards?
I can prevent this if I let it idle for a minute prior to turning it off. I assume the engine catches up with the carb’s fuel flow. Timing seems to be right on as it runs really well and all the plugs are nice and light gray and very even.
Any pointers, insights or recommendations on an exorcists?
