The only way you could have diesel run after shutdown is if an injector
is leaking or some how fuel is getting into the engine besides the
injectors. One possibility is a leaky fuel pressure regulator. Make sure
there is no fuel in the vacuum hose to it.

Hello list,
    I am new to the list, and hava owned a couple of
vanagons now, and still some things mystify me.  My
latest an 85 with 135,000 on a broken odometer, has
started to miss at idle, also has a 2 second run on
(diesels)  things i have replaced are:
    Tranny (not related)
    clutch (also not related)
    Plugs, cap, rotor, and got a set of good used
wires
    (seems to get good spark on all wires)
    new ignition coil
    checked timing and adjusted 5 ATDC
    new fuel pump
    new fuel filter
    unplugged the o2 sensor No Change
    new connectors to the fuel pump and the temp
sensor
    on the thermostat
    On my first tank of gas with Seafoam in it, to


    hopefully clean out the injectors
  when i got it back from the mechanic, (who put in
the ignition coil a couple days ago) he said it was
running good and so he left it at that.  The only
difference would be a warm shop, but it doesnt seem to
change whether the van is hot or cold. Any help would
be great.
                                       -Erin Randolph
