Fuel-Cutoff System

Fuel-cut system will stop fuel injection during deceleration to prevent unburned gases from being exhausted. Fuel-cut system will also deactivate injectors when engine speed exceeds 7000 RPM (Metro) or 6800 RPM (Prizm). This prevents engine damage due to excessive engine speed. As engine speed drops to less than 6800 RPM (Metro) or 6500 RPM (Prizm), fuel injection will resume.
