Happened to me on Sunday.
Rag was on standby and TBH I was expecting it.
Was starting the car and solenoid under the bonnet.
She picked up slowly then suddenly Blam ! smoke generator.
Still panicked, ripping off the wiring, before remembering what the rag on my shoulder was for
The fuel lines were also loosely inserted into a jerry can. So pulling the feed line and having it suck air no doubt helped a ton.
I note some modern diesels do have throttle bodies.
I guess for other reasons, but assume they snap shut if the engine goes off so the problem is lessened ?
Seems to me a mod to add a TB into the manifold might be worthy mod, actuated open with ign on.
