Deceleration Mode

When the driver releases the accelerator pedal, air flow into the engine is reduced. The PCM monitors the corresponding changes in TP, MAP, and MAF. The PCM shuts OFF fuel completely if the deceleration is very rapid, or for long periods, such as long, closed-throttle coast-down. The fuel shuts OFF in order to prevent damage to the catalytic converters.
