I can feel it in the lower gears, but not in the higher... One of the main things that I was wondering about was if it was linked to the brake switch as well. That is part of the reason I was looking for the post, because whatever post I remember reading I almost want to say that it says the DFCO kicks off (or in other words the injectors start again) when the brake is pressed. I did some DFCO last tank but did brake while decelerating in gear (normally I just shift to neutral while braking) and MPG went down... So I was trying to prove (to myself at least) that this was because I was failing to DFCO because I was braking.

Does not apply... I swapped in a tach a while back, but you are correct, it did not have one originally.

Maybe I should just wait and not try to DFCO until I have my MPGuino hooked up (currently started assembling the parts last night I had acquired to build my own "kit").
Just wish I could find the information that I remember reading. I do not remember if it was on here or somewhere else... And hell, for that matter it could have even been for another car (not the Civic) and I just made it up in my mind that it was for the Civic... lol Would not be the first time I remembered something incorrectly.
If I do find it though, I might try and figure out how to add it to the wiki and start a DFCO condition list.
