my car seems to be dieseling because of the noise it makes after I pull the key out of the ignition. How do I adjust the air/fuel mixture? What's the best way to do so...??

If it's dieseling, then you have the throttle blades open too far. Close them and adjust the mixture screws and/or timing to get it idling the way you want.
