Re: running on 3 cylinders (nijia555)
Uhmm..your economy should go down. Your injectors are still squiting the fuel and you are only making power with 3 cylinders so you should get worse fuel economy. I had a civic DX run on 3 cylinders for about 6 months. Prior to the hole in the valve I got about 40 MPG after that about 30 MPG. Makes pretty good sense to me, but I am sure that the loss isnt exactly linear, but it seems like it.

i think u could tell if you were running on 3 cylinders. The car would idle like ****. You can try pulling each plug wire off and seeing if your idle changes at all.
