This I know is incorrect. Not long ago I was diagnosing a stalling condition (which I'm still wrestling with). I had rigged up a noid light so I could see it while driving so that when it stalled, I could see if the injectors were still getting a signal when it was dying. Any time on my '94 that my foot was entirely off the gas, the injectors got basically no signal as opposed to a very steady signal even at 5% throttle.
