Thanks. Pretty cool mod, huh? If I understand your question, the answer is "nothing." I take my foot off the pedal put the car in neutral or at least depress the clutch the instant before I cut the injectors. Engine cuts-out and I coast, with all systems on, until I choose to restart by kiss-starting with the clutch, or key starting. I get some very long glides too. On occasion I have glided with the injector switch in the off position, so there is no fuel or chance of engine start, glided in gear at WOT to generate power and move coolant and listen to the engine pump air without burning fuel... pretty weird sound. And of course, at WOT, the car will glide a little further. But I don't do that regularly because I'm afraid of wear on an engine that might not be pumping oil at that moment.
