I had a 1981 Cadillac Eldorado with the "8-6-4" system, which would run on 8, 6 or 4 cylinders, as power needs changed. Electromagnets held the valves open for the unused cylinders, and the computer-controlled fuel injection system shut off the fuel to those cylinders. It worked fine, but didn't help fuel economy, and was not as smooth in the changes as it probably would be with today's technology. Consequently, it only lasted one year, and I ended up having to junk the otherwise good car in the mid-90's because I could not find a replacement computer when mine went out. Be interesting to see if this new version catches on.
