Question about AFM
When the engine goes into four-cylinder mode, is it always the same four cylinders, or do the other four also get some time off during the life of the car?

its always the same 4 (1, 4, 6, and 7), the primary reason being that if you alternated to
the other 4 you would have a second set of harmonic vibrations to deal with.

Always the same ones. At 1,300 miles I have not let my engine operate on four cylinders as yet. With the manual transmission the mode select has to be in economy to have only four cylinder operation.
well put

Initially I was all set to hate this feature and planned on getting a Diablo tune, but after living with for almost a month I can honestly say it's no big deal. If I didn't have my LCD screen set to display AFM mode I'd never know it was operating. So I no longer display that screen.
Does it save any gas, hard to say, but it doesn't hinder the performance or driving experience. For the record my last car was a 2007 Z06 so if AFM was a flawed design I'd feel it and bitch about it.
I no longer care about it, it's that seemless.
