On a more serious note I just returned from a lunchtime drive and definitely proved that I just need to be more aggressive with my EOC. I was able to coast much more often, though I have to admit I was worried about the slow speeds and time and had to accelerate much sooner than I would like to accomodate traffic. |

My kill switch is a relay that was spliced into the fuel injector wiring. When I activate the relay, it opens the contacts and the engine dies instantly. Luckily my engine will re-start without having to key-off first. |

Oooo, that's a good one Metro95. CODFISH it is! :D I wasn't sure if it was a continuation of the Canuck theme of the acronyms or not.
Have you got one for engine-on coasting? :confused: |

At the moment I'm lost on a Canuck related engine-on acronym, but I'll come up with something...:D |
On my way to work, I start the ICE and let run it for 5 sec to circulate the oil before engaging the clutch. After 3 sec of power to clear my driveway, I FAS and coast for 3/4 mi, restart and climb a 300 feet high hill (3/4 mi), FAS down the other side (1/2 mi), ICE on for 1/4 mi, FAS for 1/2 mi, ICE on for the next 6 miles (1300 foot climb) and so on. As far as power brake issues, I find that I have 2-1/2 to 3 pumps of the brake petal before I lose the power assist and then it only takes a half second pop and release of the clutch (ignition off) to work the pistons enough to recharge the vacuum. The vacuum pressure holds steady even after the 4 mile FAS that I do on my way home from work.

Just a question to all you FASers/CODFISHerman - what kind of speeds are you coasting at and what do you do about traffic?
|
I was thinking about the FAS misnomer today also. CODFISH is nice but long. I like EOC.
My CODFISH speeds range from 60 down to 30 normally but if I am approaching a stop, the speeds are obviously lower. I find that in traffic, as long as I leave a reasonable buffer in fromt of me, no one would notice my EOC./CODFISHing. |
I think CODFISH is more of a running gag for the day - no one has made it official yet. :D
Are you talking mph for speeds or km/h? As for traffic, I'm more concerned with who/what is behind me than what's ahead...how do you deal with that? |
I quote speeds in MPH but FE and distance in km/L and km. That is just because of the SuperMID.
