Deceleration Mode

OPERATION
In the Deceleration Mode, the Electronic Control Module (ECM) senses changes in throttle position and manifold air pressure and reduces the injector pulse width to reduce fuel flow. When decelerating very rapidly or for long periods of time, the ECM shuts "OFF" fuel completely for short periods of time to protect the catalytic converter.
