I'm aware that I can make the van shut off the fuel injectors when the van is going fast enough (Such as down a steep hill going 35 MPH or faster) and I stick the transmission in Low. How can I make the injectors shut off at a red light, For instance? All that sitting uses up a lot of gas, Otherwise. I tried pulling the fuel injector fuse out with the van on but when I put the fuse back in the injectors didn't turn on again until I turned key off then on, So a fuse kill-switch doesn't work in this case.

The van is the 3-Litre model.

Also, What happens when I see the infinite MPG figure? Are the injectors off then?
