Interesting.... The newer insight had once advertised that it had cylinder deactivation. It was never clear if it infact would run as a 2 cylinder varable cylinder such as only 1 or up to 4 or if it was all on or all off like the tradational fuel cut, but in this case turning off the rocker arms by vtec as it has dual vtec.

The car sounds like a singer sewing machine at ide with no load at operating temperature and since I havfe a straight pipe exhaust it sounds like my 2 cylidner geo that had a bad cylinder. Then when you touch the gas or turn on the ac the engine comes to life and sounds like a tradational 4 banger.

Guess I could unplug an injector for a start since I got the IMA backing it up and a 4 kilowatt reservce of power for a few hours of driving/?
