Does 1990 Miata (manual) have DFCO? - Fuel Economy, Hypermiling, EcoModding News and Forum

Just curious if my 1990 Miata (manual trans) has DFCO and at what RPM it would engage. I'm testing EOC and like it (except that the check valve is missing to my brake booster which makes braking a little too exciting for the moment).

Drive along at 3000rpm in 3rd gear. Take your foot off the gas and you will slow down. If the deceleration stops or significantly slows down at some RPM (around 1300rpm +- 500) you will have found the point at which DFCO is disengaging.

If you have Fuel injection it is likely you have DFCO.
