Interpretation of "a second or two" could depend on how fast your body clock is giong at the time. I know a diesel tends to stop more abruptly than a petrol engine, due to the higher compression, but it could be just the flywheel effect which is just allowing the engine to run over a couple of turns. My TDCi engine stops immediately as soon as I turn off the ignition.
Turning off the ignition turns off the HP pump-engine runs till pressure drops.
The HP pump is actually driven mechanically by the cam chain, do you mean it turns off the injectors ?
If so, how can the engine run when the ignition is off unless fuel (or oil) is being drawn in from somewhere else. Or are you saying the injectors default to open when powered down ?
