As for EOC, since your tranny doesn't have a good reputation I wouldn't bother. Do coast in neutral idling though, idling uses way less gas than even using 3% throttle to keep the engine from braking.

I believe there's a glitch in the
SG that doesn't show DFCO. My Acura shop manual states the same -- down to 1250 RPM. I think it's fairly instantaneous.
Some have installed a blinking LED to indicate if their injectors are firing -- or a multimeter may do the same for experimental purposes.
I commonly downshift to scrub speed, but rev-match to reduce wear.
