Default XJ still runs after key is off

I recently bought my 89 and when i bought it I noticed that when you turn the ignition off it will still run for about 3 seconds and then shuts off. What would cause this? It doesn't really bother me so I've just delt with it.

I had an 83 Zephyr that would do the same thing, but for 15-30 seconds.

It was always good for a laugh.
