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.

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..
