Default Dieseling after MCCC

Did anyone else have a problem with the car dieseling after using Mopar Combustion Chamber Cleaner?

I followed all the steps in one of the forums and I had to choke out my engine to get it to shut off.

Ok I figured out what I did wrong......... I was supposed to turn the car off before I used all of the MCCC. I did the opposite. It started dieseling after turned off the car. I should have turned it off and then used the last bit of MCCC to stall it out. I am pretty sure thats how it works.

No...all you do is shut the engine off just as you feel/see the can running out. The engine should shut off normally with no problem at all.

If you have a tiny bit left in the can you can just spray it into the vaccum port right after you shut it off and walk away from it.

That makes sense.

Well I started it up and had plenty of white smoke come out of the exhaust. Now its running great.

Thanks.
