I think I speak for most everyone who has taken the time to look.

DFCO works very poorly when it works on most every vehicle I have driven.

In my cobalt it takes about 5 seconds to engage, it usually only kicks in as my rpms slow through 2000rpms above that and it doesn't usually engage, below and it will only engage after a long wait in 4th & 5th and not for very long.

I think DFCO is really only usefull in situations where you have a long steady hill that you do not want to gain speed on.

My key works much more quickly and effectively than DFCO.
