That's exactly the behavior I'm talking about. If this mod keeps the fuel system pressurized, it could eliminate that.

When you key off with the ignition, it's the spark you're removing. The fuel continues to flow until it's used up, or at least until the pressure is fairly low so not much is injected. If you interrupt the injector signal instead, you immediately stop the injectors and keep the system pressurized.

I'm going to have to try this and report back.
