Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Fuel Cutoff Mode

To prevent possible engine damage from over-revving, the PCM cuts off fuel from the injectors at a calibrated engine speed or vehicle speed. On vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, fuel will be shut off if the engine exceeds 4000 RPM in PARK or NEUTRAL. The PCM also cuts off fuel to the fuel injectors at vehicle speeds above 108 mph in order to prevent tire damage.
