Abstract:
An engine control system includes a cylinder control module that deactivates and reactivates a cylinder of an engine based on a driver torque request while an ignition system associated with the engine is in an on position. A firing order module selectively adjusts a firing order of the engine based on a time when the cylinder is reactivated.
