Fuel Cut Control Unit: Description and Operation

Fuel Cut-off Control

During deceleration with the throttle valve closed, current to the fuel injectors is cut off to improve fuel economy at speeds over 1,100 rpm.

Fuel cut-off action also occurs when engine speed exceeds 6,000 rpm, regardless of the position of the throttle valve, to protect the engine from over-revving.
