But your question raises a question in my mind which is that I don't actually KNOW that dfco has been activated. hmmm
Actually, if you monitor the primary O2 sensor on the scangauge, you'll know you are in DFCO when it reads a steady 0.000 or similar. That means no fuel is getting burned

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
