Hi Pete,

Yes, your '97 Ranger is ODB2, but no, not all ODB2 engines use FI cutout when coasting in gear.

My '06 Scion xB has deceleration fuel cutoff. My wife's '06 Hyundai Elantra doesn't have DFCO.

I have wired in a manual FICO "kill" switch. It works well, as long as you're aware of and willing to take the risks of driving with a dead engine.
