I was thinking about engine management today, as I was planning out what to do about my Saturn. It occurred to me that if we wanted ultimate engine control, why not control each cylinder individually as part of the whole? Give each cylinder its own throttle, MAP sensor, ignition coil, and oxygen sensor, and everything could be precisely equalized. In theory, both power and economy could be maximized.

Thoughts?
