Exclamation Please help wouldnt shut off!!!

Ok I cleaned my K&N lubed it up good with my atv filter oil (spray, very tacky). is it possible the fumes from this after setting for a couple hours kept the truck running( after key was turned off , it ran for 15+- seconds )? I have just washed it again gonna go get the oil thats supposed to be used now. please any help??

how long did you have it running? did it run fine when it was running?If it ran fine when it was running and the spray is made for a gas motor then imo it was not from that

It's possible that if something flammable is sprayed on the filter it can cause the engine to run for a second or two after shutoff, but I would think if it ran for 15 seconds, as you claim, it is merely coincidence. If there was that much flammable substance in the filter I believe it would have caused an elevated idle right from startup. The first thing I would do is to disconnect the shutoff solenoid rod from the fuel lever on the injector pump and inspect it. I bet the pivot point is rusted and sticky and needs lubrication.

Highly doubt the filter oil caused it.

Usually this a symptom of worn out starter contacts, a $10 item that will burn up your $200 starter solenoid if left be. At 152k they are definitely due.
You can buy heavy duty contacts here http://www.fostertruck.com/dodge/default.htm install is easy.

In the meantime learn where the connector to your shut down solenoid is so that you can disconnect it in event of a run-on. Sticking contacts are known to start fires.

The first time I started it after I put it in it did cause a high idle for half a second as soon as it started, I came inside and got a drink etc.. went back out and started it and shut it right back off and thats when it did it, and It was more around 5 seconds maybe less, sorry I was kinda shook up a little when I wrote the thread ( dont need anymore more problems with my truck ya know )

The starter contacts sound right to me as well infidel, it has been doing the click, click deal for bout a week. I replaced them in my 96 at about the same mileage now that I think about it.
