My EA Runs on sometimes when you turn it off, Any help is appreciated.

do you know if your car is running rich ?
is the temperature gauge higher than usual ?
does it ping ?
try a compression test, maybe a carbon buildup, and check the injectors, make sure they arnt leaking fuel into the engine.

HA lol,try taking it down the shop,after u turn it off you might have the first EA that runs on fresh air HA HA HA.But thats the funnyest thing ive heard since someone on this site stated they beat a VR 5LTR in their EA,i love EAs i chose one but they are not that quick !!.

he he, chances are that it's your Idle Speed Controller servo. it's a little motor/magnet thingy that increases idle speed to stop the engine stalling. if it gets gummed up then it can screw with all sorts of things. I'm getting this a bit at the moment. it needs cleaning, by the sounds of it.

I had the same problem, Check if any of the air ducts are loose.

It sounds like the timing on your motor is out. I would probably check that first. Also maybe clean your plugs.

if its CFI your injectors might be leaking, and if its a really early motor make sure the timing isn't slowly retarding itself. early motors used a roll pin to key the cam sprocket (later ones used a roll pin) which on my old car had flattened out and retarded the timning by almost 8 degrees. fixing that stopped the running on and also gave it considerably more bottom end torque.

Anyone have a diagram of this where it is located. I think you might have solved an issue i am currently having. I find by setting the timming to factory specs the car has no guts all comp tests etc show up ok. I find if i advance the timming the car hammers. Any ideas. I was even thinking of advancing the cam by one tooth to see if it makes a difference then retard the base timming to see if it retains the power. Hope this makes sense.
