as some of you know my dad recently bought a 97 Dakota with a 318. over the
last few weeks my dad has said the when he drives a short distance or moves
his truck in the driveway, when he turns off the truck it sounds like it
stops but then idles a second, sounds like it dies again, the idles again
for a shorter second and then dies for the final time. He said it's called
Dieseling??? is this what it's called? also, what causes this and how to fix
it?

BTW it's been cold since it's Ohio (30's-40's).
