   Yeah, theoretically. It alternately shut down one bank of cyl and then the   
   other by shutting off the spark and fuel injectors. Theoretically it would   
   still pass air through the intake and exhaust valves to cool the non   
   firing-injected banks. I wouldn't put much trust into such a system,   
   unless somebody was shooting at me.
