Simple but very promising ecomod. will it work?

Got a scan gauge? Plug it in, disconnect some injectors, go for a drive and post your results

I don't have one. Wouldn't having disabled injectors mess up it's reading?

Again, this hasn't been proven to work.

You personally tested it?

How did you test it? Did you use a scan gauge? What kind of vehicle?

I did try it on a Tempo. I did not find any benefit. Use the search function to see what others have posted.

did you post your results on this list and your testing methodology?

How do you balance this thing? It will shake itself to bits.

What is the main problem to doing this... I am asking out of lack of mechanical knowledge .... if it is compression and the pistons not being pushed back up in turn creating drag? Could you have a air tank to really introduce compression? It would take a large tank and would only work for short drives but in theory would it work? Just thinking out loud mostly.... I am also on my phone so searching is not easy

Dont know where "really" came from? Damn autocorrect...

VW are closing the valves and shutting off the injectors at low load.
