In the article untitled: "A Low-Pollution Engine Solution", by Steven Ashley in Scientific American magazine, 2001:
"Anyone who has driven a car, truck or motorcycle that is at least 20 years old is probably familiar with what engineers call after-run, an annoying and now rare condition in which an engine keeps turning over for a few seconds after the ignition is off." But today, the fundamental fuel-burning process that causes after-run is firing the interest of the automotive industry.

It sound like what I know as "dieseling" you shut the engine off, and it keeps runnning (sort of).
Autoencendido
Motor, culata
Efecto indeseado en el que el motor sigue en marcha a pesar de cortar el encendido, debido generalmente a una bujía o a depósitos de carbonilla que permanecen incandescentes dentro de la cámara de combustión.

postcombustión
after-run is more widely known, I believe, as afterburn.
