76 2.0 FI stock except for Crane ignition. Car runs perfectly, all parts functioning, no vac leaks, idles at 6 to 700 fine. I was trying a possible fix for my engine "run on" after shutdown by adding a diode to the lead from the generator to the generator dash light. At the generator light in the dash, there is a blue wire to one side and on the other side is a short red/white stripe wire that goes immediately to the oil light. I installed the diode on the short red/white stripe wire between the generator light and the oil light. Did I stupidly put the diode on the wrong side of the generator light? Btw, I am taking the car in this AM for it's biannual smog check and I will have my mechanic check the timing before the smog check to rule that out as a possible cause of the "run on".
