Stay in school, and get a complete education before you start trying to design automobiles. lol Good "idea" but that won't work for anyone's benefit.

I'm sure it'll cause problems....that's why I said it was a long shot at best, at least for our existing car. I don't think there will be any fuel injected into the cylinder because the injector will be shut off...like this...

I was just talking about adapting this existing tech to an existing engine. I just wasn't exactly sure what it was called in the OP.

I'm not sure what you mean, of course the pistons will continue to go up and down. The yaris already has DFCO which is sorta like this.

BTW, this all started because we were talking about this existing tech, and I thought it was a good idea....but instead of deleting half the work load...only one cylinder...
