My car is running on 2 cylinders… meachanics say that everything is well but they think the cause might be a faulty ECU. Could this be the problem?

Are the cylinders not getting fuel, spark or both?

Yeah, then as a test we swapped in my ECU and his car worked perfect.

before you buy a new ecu, have someone lend you their working one to determine if it’s the actual cause.

The car has compression,fuel,spark. Just thats that it doesnt wanna run the two cylinders. the mechanic says that he is 100% sure thats what it is. But i was wondering how many people have actually had this problem? Is it probable that that could happen?
