An engine control for an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The engine preferably includes at least two cylinders or combustion chambers. The engine control is arranged to run the engine in a first mode in which all cylinders are operating and a second mode in which at least one of the cylinders is disabled, such as by misfiring the ignition element corresponding thereto. The engine control is arranged to operate the engine in the second mode only when a predetermined condition, such as idle, is detected for a predetermined amount of time. The engine control is also arranged to prevent the operation of the engine in the second mode if an engine operating condition has changed states, even if the predetermined condition is detected.
