Re: Diesel Runaway
Shutting off the ecu opens a valve that is normally closed with th ecu switched on, which allows vacuum from the mechanical vacuum pump attached to the cam to suck on the ASV. So as long as the engine is rotating that pump is pulling a vacuum that closes then ASV. When the engine eventually stops running the ASV get no vaccum anymore and snaps open. When you switch the car on again the ecu closes that valve and voila no closing of the asv.
