I've used the torque app and the scangauge on both my cars and found the torque gauges don't show DCFO but the scangauge does. I know both my cars have it so must be a problem with the torque programming.

I find I usually can't feel it kick back in unless I'm on a bit of a downhill.

I feel it sometimes, and sometimes I don't feel it. That goes both for cut-off and cut-on.

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.

Thanks. Does Scangauge actually have a field called Dfco, or are you looking at reading and inferring from that?

I have a 2000 Accord V6 and definitely have DFCO as noted on the ScanGage II mpg. Rpm up to 2000 and let of the gas. With the automatic I can down shift all the way to first gear and keep DFCO as long as the rpm's don't drop below 1200.

0 Load = DFCO, you don't need a specific parameter for it.

Right enough. On the ScanGauge Load or LOD is the percentage of power being generated and if the cut off is engaged that will be zero. At tick-over there will be some small amount of power or LOD displayed.

When you guys say load. You mean Engine Load or something else?

Yes engine load. Instant lhk will go to 0 as well or 99999 mpg.

I read that for automatics to enter dfco you have to be in d3. Does anyonr know if that's true? I haven't tested it yet. I'm worried if I shift into d3 whie driving I'll ruin the transmission
