Golf TD fuel cut off solenoid mystery

Hi
basically my golf is playing up...its a 96 1.9 TD. yesterday, went out
to change a rear shock for the MOT test, and it wouldnt start. i found
one of the glowplug connections was loose, so fixed that and it started
ok...now the damn thing wont stop running!! something a bit freaky
about switching off the ignition and taking the keys out, with the
motor still going. after about five minutes it dies by itself.

ive been out to get a new fuel cut off solenoid (wotever that is) and
as usual it doesnt match anything on my engine. where it should go
looks different on my car, there is a similar thing set behind and
attached to the throttle, but i cant find any reference to it on my
etka disk, or the haynes book. it has a smaller thread, and a black
plastic body, with a single wire connection at one end and what looks
like some sort of push-rod sticking out the other...this all kind of
interfaces with a cable
id be grateful for any suggestions...anyone have any ideas?? i might
end up walking to work tommorow

The fuel cut off solenoid should be located in the top of the pump
body, just above where all the fuel lines bolt up to . All the
injection pumps in Canada have it located here but I don't know about
where you are.

Yes its on the injection pump.
