chrysler has been running this cylinder shut off for a couple years now, not sure what its called but the 300c, charger and i believe the challengers have it as well. im thinking all their v8s have it by now. i aint sure of all the tech stuff on it though either, just now they have had it for a couple years now.
I could be wrong, but I don't think that they got the real world gas savings they had hoped for, maybe the newer systems are better... but it always seemed a little gimmicky to me

I'm not saying your wrong but is the car a V6 or an in line 6? the reason I ask is because Logic tells me that there is no way a V6 is going to shut down 3 cylinders this would make the engine fun very unbalanced and that just doest make sense to me. I will agree it will shut down 2 adjacent cylinders but I don't see 3. I have no proof and I'm to lazy to goggle info about a Honda so if you have proof on the 3 cylinder thing please correct me

OK I see what there doing. There turning the V6 into inline 3 when it goes down to only needing 3. My logic was right I was just thinking they where Running 2 cylinders on one Bank and only one cylinder on the other bank and that would make the engine run unbalanced. Thats pretty cool

A friend of mine has a 66 mustang with a 289 and he had problems with the car running only on 4 cylinders. The carb had clogged passages and it just so happened to provide fuel for four cylinders and it ran smooth. But he cleaned the carb and it runs on all eight now.

Um OK a carb is not advanced enough to put fuel into each individual cylinder. It just dumps fuel and air into the intake and the intake is what puts the fuel into each cylinder on a Carbed application.
Yes I'm sure the car runs better now but there is now way it was running on 4 cyl because of the carb
