Which says "Cylinder deactivation, which shuts off fuel to some cylinders
under idle and low demand situations, is expected in 2004. That will
increase fuel economy."
Since is it now 2006, I expect that the new Hemi already idles on four
cylinders. Do you have a newer link?

A little googling....
http://www.trentyne.com/driventodriv...ysler300C.html
gives us a review that references this on a 2005 Chrysler 300C and states:
".... In addition it has a Multi-Displacement System (MDS) which means it
idles and cruises on just four cylinders....." ".....During this period,
cylinders 1-4-6-7 are deactivated."
(Also notes here that the HEMI name is derived from the hemispherical shaped
combustion chambers - something I did not know)
http://www.motorage.com/motorage/art....jsp?id=179012
Scroll about half way down to a bit called “Chrysler Offers Fuel Economy
Driving Tips For HEMI and Other Engines” and read this:
“…MDS incorporates a number of technologies to accomplish this: the speed of
electronic controls, the sophistication of the algorithms controlling the
systems and the use of Electronic Throttle Control. With MDS, the same four
cylinders (1, 4, 6 and 7) are deactivated each time MDS kicks in….”
Hope this helps,

Re: Code P0301
I did the 60,000 mile service at 60K miles. THere is no noticeable missing,
shaking etc. it runs smooth,
The only thing that I did was use Premiun gas for about 5 fillups before the
light went on.
I did that because of the cold weather. Perhaps I should not have done it.
Did it foul a plug.

shaking etc. it runs smooth,
The only thing that I did was use Premiun gas for about 5 fillups before the
light went on.
I did that because of the cold weather. Perhaps I should not have done it.
Did it foul a plug.

Re: Code P0301
I did the 60,000 mile service at 60K miles. THere is no noticeable missing,
shaking etc. it runs smooth,
The only thing that I did was use Premiun gas for about 5 fillups before the
light went on.
I did that because of the cold weather. Perhaps I should not have done it.
Did it foul a plug.
