It will work: it is similar to a variable displacement but with the cut off cylinders Clapping! they are causing loss, but I think the overall effect is still positive. the savings come from reduced manifold suction, less pumping loss.
Funny, I was working on something like this myself, then came across this article on autospeed web site..... I feel cheated! haha, well you snooze you loose. I tried this at idle on my previa with an openguage, I disconnected 2 injectors. idle speed dropped a bit, but litres/hour hardly changed. then I realised, the open guage still thinks all 4 injectors are working! so consumption is actually 1/2. some of that will come from the lower idle speed though. that is worth having, even if it was just at idle. I have other control scemes though, not the wideband sensor. will talk about that a bit later.
I have patented some things before but don't want to get into that again, as soon as there is potential money around you have to fight off the sharks. if I post it here at least I can use it without others sueing me!
