Hello,
I have been reading the forum for a while but never posted. I was hoping to get some guidance from the experts here. I have a 2020 CX5 GT I bought new and other than the uncomfortable as $%# seats I like the car, its my 5th Mazda and 3rd CX-5. This one has the cylinder deactivation which along with the stop/start systems on other cars I do not like or want. From what I can find online it sounds like it is the same 2 cylinders that get deactivated and I find it hard to believe there isn't some sort of uneven wear between the 2 sets of cylinders over time.
My question is...Is there a way for someone knowledgeable in tuning to disable the cylinder deactivation? If so would it cause any other issues with the engine? I know nothing at all about tuning or modding so would prefer someone who knows what they are doing...A shop or something. The shifting points on this car suck as well, being in 5th gear at 30mph is a joke so I spend a lot of time on the paddle shifters or in manual mode.
Anyway...I truly appreciate and advice or info anyone has. I did search forums and do see offers to tune but none mention disabling cylinder deactivation.
