Just for curiosity's sake, I'd like to ask about the cause of my 1098 to prefer to keep kicking and bucking a couple of seconds after I turn off the key.
I've read that timing problems can cause it. Carbon buildup can cause it. High idle can cause it.
In my own case, my car does idle quite high. I do that so it won't die on me while it's taking its time to warm up. I think 1500rpm is where it idles.
I thought I had my timing set correctly. Does dieseling happen from too advanced or too retarded?
Carbon buildup? Well, I have been running rich all this time, but my plugs themselves are nice and beige/brown, rather than caked with soot. So, again, it seems like it's not tuned up way out of whack.
I remedy the situation by letting out the clutch in 2nd gear as I shut off the car, which kills it in its tracks. But I'd love to have the car work normally, like all of my others.
Any pointers or things to check out??
