im having a similar problem, not qwuite as bad, but when i turn engine off it sounds as if it starts back up for a few seconds then turns off lol

my dad said its the timing but he aint an expert.

The running after you turn the car off is timing related, i think the timing is too advanced. It is deffo timing.

As for Nova Kahn if your car won't turn off then it could be something to do with the ignition switch, but i have seen this problem before and it was something to do with the alternator.

Check your wiring to the ignition barrel, probably something has come loose or shorted.

my friends cav used to do it he claimed it was b/c his head was so carbonated, so it ran like a diesel when he turned it off.

smithson hat is indeed a possabilty if there is carbon on the cylinder or on the head that can get hot enough then this will keep ignitin the fuel so therefore will keep runnin try puttin a tank full of optimax in it to clear ya car out and thrash it abit they love a gd blast to clear them out
