The main concern is that it's on a straight four. I understand the balance issues, but when it's cut off properly, it really doesn't make much of a difference.
I'm with Frank, too many errors in the diatribe.

From the Glossary link (at the top of each page here.)

DFCO

Deceleration Fuel Cut Off, a condition where fuel injection stops when the accelerator is released and engine speed is above a target determined by the computer. The engine continues turning via the transmission, driven by the vehicle's momentum. Once below the threshold engine speed (1300-1500ish rpm), fuel injection resumes allowing the engine to continue to run.
