Re: Idling High/Dieseling at shut off/accelerates on it's own/too much fuel

there are only two ways a EFI car can truely run-on after shut off. a leaking injectior or a bad fuel pressure regulator. a leaking injectior you may be able to visually see the injectior contining to spray/drip fuel after shut off. a bad fuel pressure regulator(by which i mean the rubber diaphram inside the FPR is leaking) can leak fuel into the vaccum line connecting it to the throttle body, basicly acting like a extra injectior that is always on. if you pull the line off of the FPR and it spits fuel out at ya, its safe to say the diaphram is busted
