Ford transit '99 2.5diesel problem?

Hi everyone,
the problem is i can start the engine with the key but since it is running i cant turn it off the same way i have to put 5 in and...
it looks like the engine seem to have less power at the same time incluidng a bit of black smoke at the back :) some say it is all connected in some way, anyone please any ideas?

david is right in saying that the fuel shut off valve is faulty. but what you say about the loss of power could be the start of the injector pump breaking up. when that happens tiny parts of metal from inside the pump can jam the fuel shut of solenoid

Possible fuel cut off solenoid is stuck open & taking out key will have no effect. Sorry I don't know where the solenoid is but its quite small with 1 wire going to it.
