I am by no means the best mechanic, but I can tell you this advice is =

burn off the carbon deposits.  Possibly retarding or advancing the =
timing?  These cars don=E2=80=99t necessarily do that, and if yours does =

First off, congratulations on your win.

Secondly, do what I do.  Put the car in fourth gear and let the clutch =
out as you switch off.  Be sure to set the brake first.  My TR6 diesels =
even with the anti-run-on valve.  So does the TR3.

Fresh TR4 engine that does that "dieseling" thing after you turn off the

key.  It like it tries to keep running but with a cough and then stops.  =
The

TR6 has an anti-run on valve to help with that.  What do I treat on a =
TR4

motor?  P.S.  So proud that after 8 years putting my 4 back together =
stock,

I won first place in the sports car group at the AACC winter national. =20
