   You have a good idea there as I don't know what they shut down when the   
   engine control module sees a misfire of 1 in 200 RPMs or more.   
      
   You can shut an injector but they only inject areas and not cylinders.   
   You can shut down a spark, but then you have unburned fuel in the cat.   
      
   Maybe they shut down both?
