"Run on" "Dieseling" when shut off
Quote from Bryan on March 22, 2019, 9:24 amI have a small block chevy with a Fitech #30002. It runs perfectly in every sense. But when I turn it off, it "Runs on" briefly. The initial timing is a 10 degrees btdc, idle at 825rpm. I have tried octane boost in increase fuel quality. I do not have any external spark boost accessories like a MSD 6AL. The distributor is a vac advance. I have had a similar issue with older vehicles with warning lights on the dash causing a power bleed after shut off but this vehicle does not have any lights. Could this be a injection tuning issue?

Try adjusting your idle AFR. You can use max vacuum, idle quality and plug read methods, much like carb tuning.
