Default Dieseling

I have a problem with the car running rich--but also dieseling which is the part that really annoys me. I'm not throwing a cell or anything but most of the time when I turn the car off it will continue to sputter just for a second or so after the car is shut off...Also the lights on the instrument cluster will fade instead of just turning off.

no its not ive seen a untouched stock lt1 motor have the vac lines pulled off and the key out of ignition and it stay running...get them hot enough or too much fuel they will keep igniting on their own and stay running...NO JOKE

By any chance do you have an aftermarket fan?
I ask because sometimes, the rotation of a fan will backfeed for a few moments if its not wired perfectly..

The fans aren't aftermarket but they are wired to always be on..its ghetto rigged too...I need to go through and fix that I guess.

^^Yea.. something is keeping current going through the car when you shut if off for a sec. More than likely it could be them Fans, but there are more possible things with you Car.

It's possible the ignition switch isn't cutting power immediately like it is supposed to.
