Within this thread it has been suggested that torque control could be achieved by either fuel shut off, or via blocking ignition.

I have always understood that some, but not all cylinders, are deprived of ignition for the short periods involved. This would be plausible as control would be practically instantaneous, as opposed to a probable slight inherent delay.

Please, can someone confirm the exact mode of operation. Please, no opinions, only exact evidence, e.g. pointers towards verifiable published statements, from an absolutely reliable source exhibiting authority.
