Neutral has throttle body on idle speed = fuel being used

Thanks Ron. I used to do this till I read your post... I was under the impression it would be the other way around! but i do recall seeing this when I was kid with the difference that the ignition would be turned off when the car was coasting in neutral... and then without the crank just pop the clutch to start it back up...
