My shop manual states:

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 following rpm:
  • B18B1 engine: 970 rpm (Canada model: 1050 rpm) My Engine -- U.S. Version
  • B18C1 engine: 970 rpm (Canada model: 1050 rpm)
  • B18C5 engine: 1300 rpm (Canada model: 1400 rpm)

2 years ago, I rigged up an injection deactivation device. On decel above 950 rpm or so, there was no difference in engine operation.

EDIT: Adding...

So, then the engine is still operational providing power from the alternator, and all other ECU-controlled functions. The resistance between the compression of the engine and the turning transmission may be a point for wear if IGEOC (in-gear engine-off coast)...
