come meet me… you can hold my laptop and log my injector cycle while i drive… it will be painfully obvious when you see 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 representing the 4 injectors firing.

my point is that if you ride the tranny down, you aren’t firing gas, and in theory are saving it resulting in a higher MPG… i could really care less…i just pump gas into my car when i’m low…

My carb doesn’t read 0.0 when engine braking. What gives? Seems to me that this creats a higher vacuum than just ideling. That makes it pull more fuel in than at idle. And makes fun poping noise
