Fuel-Cut System

Fuel-cut system will stop fuel injection during deceleration to prevent unburned gases from being exhausted. Fuel-cut system will also deactivate injectors when engine speed exceeds 7000 RPM (Metro & Firefly (Canadian)) or 6800 RPM (Prizm). This prevents engine damage due to excessive engine speed. As engine speed drops to less than 6800 RPM (Metro & Firefly (Canadian)) or 6500 RPM (Prizm), fuel injection will resume.
