Hi all,

I know there are a lot of threads already regarding this issue, but none of them solves my problem (unless I missed something, I've been searching for the past 2 hours!!).

Anyway, I just replaced my old primer pump to the new style pump, started the car and checked for leaks. Turned off the car and removed key..and engine was still running. So I tried to use the stop lever under the hood and it would not stop. I clamped the fuel line at the inline filter and pushed the stop lever, and it finally shut off.

The car shuts down all the time when I remove the key before. The problem, was when I was replacing the primer pump, I must have removed a few vacuum lines. I reconnected the lines and the engine now stops when I turn the car off with the ignition.

My question is...why didn't the engine shut off when I pushed the stop lever?? Does the stop lever cut vacuum?? Fuel?? or Both?? Should I adjust my throttle linkage?? check my shut-off valve?? If so, where can I find information about adjusting the linkage??

Thanks!!

BTW..my car is 1984 300D Turbo and this is my 2nd post, so take it easy on me please .
