Good info for the cutoff setting. Pretty sure my tps reads like 10 at warm idle though. Going to double check it tomorrow and really figure this out. Is this how it reads "9999" when in DFCO?? Because mine never reads that and, in fact, reads lower than when I coast in neutral.

I switched mine and it works great! Keeps much better track of mileage because it can factor in EOC miles, great tip!!
