I recently took my disco 1 123,000 to the mech. he noticed that one of the cylinders wasn't working. we replaced plugs, wires, cap, rotor....my question is this. Would the ecu actually quit using one of the cylinders (shut it down) if the wires were bad. once we replaced them all we ran the test again and still nothing. is it possible once it reads that is able to function properly would it turn it back on. Is this even possible??? am I talking about of my ass here?

As far as I know the only way a cylinder will not fire is if the coil pack is bad, or plugs/wires are the issue. Or if you have a completely clogged injector/bad wire to injector.
