I concur with Mike Aube and my earlier post that it's
probably the ignition switch. Your year does have a
mechanical fuel pump, but it has an electrical fuel
cut-off solenoid (which is at the back of the
injection pump and has a 24mm head that we used a
crow's foot wrench to remove)that shuts down your
diesel when the key is turned off. Remember, you
don't
have an ignition system to cut B+ to in order to make
it shut down.
