...theoretically, yes.

...practically, no.

...remember, cylinders do NOT all combust exactly the same, so the computer has to continually play a "tweeking" game between cylinders to maintain an AVERAGE optimization, rather than an individual optimization of any specific cylinder. This is because the "feedback" mechanism are the common 02-sensors, ahead of and behind, the catalytic converter...which means averaged feedback about the aggregate exhaust, not specific feedback for any one cylinder.

...nevertheless, you probably CAN gain some knowledge about what's going in the ONE cylinder you're monitoring...plus a lot of mental "integrating" of what you're seeing.
