RE: IML: frusteration

Brandt,

What you are describing is dieseling or run-on.  If your timing is off, or
the car not adjusted properly, you may experience this phenomenon.  Your
idle speed may be too high, and your timing too advanced or retarded (I've
experienced both!).  What was it just in the shop for?

I'm not a formally trained ASE, but I've learned a whole lot about cars over
the years through experience.  Sometimes it's more expensive than a formal
class, but it's been the best teacher I've ever had.

Subject: IML: frusteration

Hey group...I noticed that there are those of us that mostly contribute
information and those of us that constantly rack your brains for information
like myself. I'm trying to gain general automotive knowledge and not just
imperial knowledge so I tend to ask pretty generic questions. I would love
to be a quadruple certified ASE technician but that aint goin to happen. The
only formal training I have is a beginning high school auto class and that
was about 6 years ago. I just get mad at myself for not knowing things about
my Le Baron.
Anyway I just got my 1963 Le Baron out of jail (the shop) and after I have
driven it and i put it back into park the engine races and then i go to shut
off the ignition and it goes clunk clunk clunk before the car shuts down.
What the hell is this? Ive never had this problem before! I hate not being
an expert in this subject. I remember I rebuilt the engine myself and then i
tried to hand turn the crankshaft and it wouldnt budge. so I took it in to a
shop and told me I had practically put the whole engine together
backwards...dammit I love auto mechanics but I dont know relativley much
about it.
