1987 300TD Will Not Shut Off

I tried to look this up on here, maybe I missed something because I am sure I am not the only one with this silly issue. Here it is:

I come to a stop, I turn the key to the off position, the car stays on. At first it was slowly die out now it at a point where it's always staying on and sometimes if I hit the pedal and let it sink fast it will shut off... Other times I have to pop the hood and choke it out.

I figured this might be a vacuum issue, does anyone know where to look, or what part is failing?

Thanks!

P.S. Coincidentally I ran into a fellow on the other side of the diesel pump with a W123 300D who has the same issue; only he gave up on it and just pops the hood every time he shuts the car off.

Thanks for looking and happy Labor Day Weekend!!
