So, now we've heard this directly from you.

Can somebody explain why, if your approach to cylinder deactivation is oh-so-much better than "30+ year old traditional cylinder deactivation" technology, then why haven't the major auto manufacturers done something like your firmware-only approach?

And can somebody explain how an OBD-II controlled engine will not throw a misfire code from deliberately causing a cylinder to not fire during the engine's run cycle, such as from installing your wonder gadget? Or for causing successive cylinders to not fire in turn at each revolution of the crank?

Or how an OBD-II controlled engine will not throw an injector circuit broken code from deliberately removing an injector coil out of the engine computer's driver circuit?

Or how your wonder gadget somehow prevents the OBD-II computer from throwing some other code related to catalytic converter efficiency monitoring?

Sorry, but you're going to have to do better than wow us with shoddy press releases and your own personal testimony. Oh, and do try to actually answer the questions without going into hysterics.
