How does that work? How can the car shut off its injectors? If the fuel injectors quit injecting fuel wouldn't the engine die? If that were the case, wouldn't the rpms drop to zero. When I coast downhill with foot off and no cruise control, the rpm are still around 1500rpm...maybe i'm missing something.
