I checked, and it's not even doing 9999 in DFCO. It showed between .2 - .5 gph, and seemed to change relative to engine RPM.

But it was reporting OPEN LP in DFCO and switching back over to CLSD LP when the RPM dropped low enough for fuel injection to resume.

When I key off, it freezes at whatever RPM the engine was at, but drops to zero when I immediately key back on.

You're right: it was reporting 0.1 gph with the engine off and the key on.

Not sure - but this is a SG1.

I'm pretty sure Daox is using a SG2 though (no xgauge / add-a-gauge feature).

I do wonder if this has anything to do with the way the engine is stopped, ie. if it were a kill switch, would it handle it differently? Not really a big concern, since I don't drive this car often. But for others who do...
