Fuel Shut-Off

On 280 SE models, a shut-off solenoid will pull main rack of fuel injection pump to zero delivery when ignition is shut off. On all models with 4.5 engine, the fuel injection control unit will shut off fuel delivery when decelerating, dependent upon temperature and engine speed. At lower coolant temperatures, the fuel injection will be cut off at a somewhat higher engine speed than with higher coolant temperatures.
