help, truck wont shut off

Ok so today I installed a DennyT stage 2 fuel pin, everything went fine. Truck fired up turned off no problem, went for a drive gave it some pedal came home. I took the fuel pin out to check for travel and wear, put some grease on it and put it back in and turned the smoke screw clockwise a turn. Went to drive for a few minutes, gave it some pedal a couple times and made my way back home. I go to shut the ignition off and it just keeps idling.......I have to manually shut if off now. I checked the fuel pin and any connections around the pump and everything seems fine.

Anyone have any idea what I messed up????

Either a chunk has came out of the tip of the shut-down solenoid, or a bit of foreign matter has lodged in it's seat; the grease could have done it possibly.

Appearantly all that extra fuel can tend to rip a chunk out of the lip of the plunger. I bought a new one and modified the plunger per sticky and so far so good.

But I haven't really had a good chance to test it either. I've had some heavy fuel situations under a load but not out on the interstate while at speed (which is what caused the problem I think ).

I kept the kill cable just in case...
