Cylinder Deactivation Not Working
Just noticed today, car stays in V8. Cylinder deactivation not working. Anyone had this issue?
I even tried putting drive mode in ECO and still all V8.

Count yourself fortunate! Corvettes don't need no stinkin' AFM.

Meantime I have a message off to my Chevy service manager at the dealership to ask if this is covered under drivetrain warranty, since I am out of 36 mo. warranty.

Brother, sorry to hear you're having issues. I love my Active Cylinder Deactivation for road trips.
I put it in 7th gear and switch to ECO mode and I get 32 miles to the gallon.
So who needs it????? I don't "need" it, but I love having it for road trips!

It shouldn't matter. If he put it in Economy mode, it should work in an M7, which is the only mode it works in.

I don't think I'd be worry about it too much, unless you see a CEL.
