My 1985 300d turbodiesel will not turn off with the key. I have to open the hood and manually shut it off with the stop button. Was doing work under the hood at the time. what could it be and where do I start?

As always you guys never fail to help me out

Disconnected vacuum line somewhere. If doors and everything else are working, it's probably a brown line going to the shut off diaphragm at the back of the IP down between the IP and oil filter housing.
