hi guys:
today i went to get gas and when i shut off the car at the station to fill her up it deseled like crazy (sputtered and wouldn't die) i had to pop the clutch to kill it. it started up fine after i was done filling it up. any ideas on what the problem could be, it was cool outside today but the engine was fully warmed up. oh and i just replaced the PCV valve about 4 months ago

the car might be running rich or the choke remains engaged..

Try to clean the carb with carb cleaner first.

One more thing, make sure that the pre-heater hose is connected.

one of the reasons i converted to an efi. NO more carb sputtering even after loads of cleaning.

as much as i would love to convert to FI i cannot right now because the 3g is my only transportation to school and i can't afford the downtime
but my next car will be FI, i'm thinkin 90 or 91 prelude

it ran perfect after it happened, and it has never dieseiled before either, i'll spray down the carb after school today and see if that helps

yes i did a search for dieseling on the board before i posted this thread, i saw that post but he discribes a wierd idle he is having as well, my car idle's perfect and when i shut off the car it showed no signs of anything abnormal, then it started dieseling, by the way it hasn't done it since, maby it is a one time thing (we need a knock on wood smilie!!)
