Archived Truck won't shut down

[highland]

Turned off key - no shutdown. Just keeps running - check engine light on - only code shows P0237 Map sensor voltage too low. Anyone have a solution?



1999 VP44. Auto trans.

Interesting? I'm guessing it's presently idling now and since it's an auto you can stall it. Smother the air inlet at the filter box, try removing filter element and cover port to turbo with something pretty solid to "choke" the air off. You'll want to use something like a small piece of plywood or the like - if you try a rag it may get sucked in and result in turbo damage. You may be able to disconnect both batteries and then unplug the alternator? Not sure if it will continue to run on or not? Hope someone else with better knowledge on how to shut down a VP non stick can give better advice. I'll be sure to follow this one as I'd be in the same boat as you - not sig 99 Auto. Good luck - hope it's something simple.

I keep a Co2 fire extinguisher in my truck in case if gets a sniff from a natural gas main leak.

I have never used Co2 to shut down a diesel but I heard it works and does not leave a mess.

Unplug relays/fuses.



If that don't work, pinch off the fuel line. No fuel = no run.

I know this is not a very timely reply, but if I remember correctly pulling fuse 9 should cut power to the VP. Whether or not that would help in this case, I have no idea.
