You could always just block the air intake- by the way, the stop lever on my 240d is sometimes really hard to press- I've hurt my thumb a couple times getting it to turn off that way. Just be careful you don't burn yourself, those levers can get pretty hot!

There is a vacuum diaphram that may be no good??? Or a leak to it, near the IP.

Is it over revving? Does the engine rev?

Fixed.

I had a vacuum leak and the injector pump had been rigged so that the stop lever didn't work.


Stressful not being able to shut off your car though.
