Hey guys so the other day I was pulling back to the ramp after a usual flight and I pulled the mixture like usual to shutdown and it got a little lower rpm but still kept spinning?? It wouldn't shut off until I just turned it off by the mags?

What was RPM when you pulled mixture. Did you goose the throttle with no effect. Not sure how it is with the FI but on my carb engine if I'm at low idle it sometimes can keep running. I always shut down at 1100

POOR CUT-OFF

 

Improper rigging of aircraft linkage to mixture control. Adjust.
  Mixture control valve scored or not seating properly. Eliminate cause of scoring (usually burr or dirt) and lap mixture control valve and plug on surface plate.

Start with the simple, sometime the plunger in the flow divider sticks.  Any A & P should be able to open it and check it.

I had this same thing happen one time.  Ended up killing it by turning the fuel off on the fuel selector.  Couldn't replicate it again but ended up having my throttle and mixture linkages changed as they were the "old" style and apparently less reliable.  Haven't had an issue with it since then.

Opening the throttle would likely result in shutdown without using the mags.  When is the last time the Servo was opened? There only a few things your A&P will do before sending it to the shop.

I once saw the same exact issue when the idle cut-off stop screw fell out of the servo screwing up the linkage adjustment. Everything was safety-wired except that one screw. It's easy to spot if you look at the servo on pilot side.
