Save gas by de-activating a fuel injector

Save gas by de-activating a fuel injector

This automotive customization tutorial shows you a method to try to save gas by deactivating a fuel injector. Get your car to run on three cylinders instead of four and save gas. Be careful, you will need to remap your vehicle's ECU or live with the check engine light being continuously on. This method of deactivating a fuel injector to make your vehicle run on one less cylinder will save gas, as long as your car still runs.

This is a dumb idea. Your car is not engeniered to run with an injector unpluged. The reason his check engine light was flashing was due to a code PO300 =random misfire. He wacked out the computer. The spark plug will bridge the gap due to not igniting fuel plusr mess up that cylinder. His mechanic will love him for a costly repair bill. If you are interested in cutting off cylinders while driving look into a Honda. Honda has engenerred this already but for highway driving only.
