So back in the 1970s and 1980s when we were starting to see simple vacuum and temperature-controlled logic devices on engine controls we also started seeing little tricks being used such as engaging the AC compressor when the engine was shut off to put the engine under a slight load to help prevent dieseling.
What methods would be used on non AC equipped vehicles? Would they have a fuel control solenoid like some lawnmowers?
Any other tricks that were used to prevent dieseling?
I will admit that I used to find it rather amusing the attention drawn to a vehicle as its dieseling and carrying on in a parking lot, especially when it finally would stumble to a stop in a fit and backfire!
