hi guys i have a realy bad problem with my gu continuing to run extremely rough after shutting the engine off and pulling the key out.
it starts up and drives and idles like a dream but when you turn it off all hell erupts, smoke starts coming from the exaust and a bad smell arises, the only way to shut it down completely is to put it in gear and let the clutch out.
what could be the cause of this? has anyone had any similar problems?
Things I've tried .
I've tried disconnecting the wire to the fuel stop solenoid while its running on and nothing happens , it doesn't shut down it continues to run , Im under the impression that the solenoid is stuck open because when you cut the power it should close and stop the fuel supply . Correct me if I'm wrong.
I've also ran a separate wire to it incase it was a wiring issue but with no success, what I did is I ran a wire from the solenoid strait to the battery , I had a mate inside the car and when he turned the key on I would connect the wire to the battery and she would start no worries but when I told him to turn it off he would pull the key out and it would start its run on problem and I would disconnect the wire which would cut power to the solenoid and she would sit there still running on and shaking violently until I told him to stall it to shut it down.... Again I'm thinking the solenoid is stuck open.
Any help would be great I've tried on another patrol forum and no one replied to me so I'm hoping the people on this forum are more help :) , I've tried to describe it best I can but feel free to ask qeustions to help diagnose the problem , many thanks in advance.
