Fuel Cut-Off

Injectors are de-energized when ignition is turned off to prevent dieseling. Injectors will not be energized if RPM reference pulses are not received by the PCM, even with ignition on. This prevents flooding before starting. Fuel cut-off will also occur at high engine RPM to prevent internal damage to engine. On some models, fuel injector signals may also be cut off during periods of high speed, closed throttle deceleration (when fuel is not needed).
