Electronic Control Module (ECM): Deceleration

During normal deceleration, ECM calculates injector pulse width in manner similar to that used for fuel enrichment, and fuel output is reduced. This reduction in available fuel serves to remove residual fuel from intake manifold. During sudden deceleration, when MAP, throttle position and engine speed are reduced to preset levels, fuel flow is cut-off completely to remove fuel from engine. This deceleration fuel cut-off overrides normal deceleration mode. During either deceleration mode, injector pulses are not in proportion to distributor reference signals.
