No hablas ingles?

lean = little fuel

fuel cut = no fuel

If the injector isn't working, then no fuel is getting to that cylinder.

Cylinders aren't "connected." Hypothetically, you could have three cylinders properly combusting with one not doing anything, hence the non-burning cylinder.

3 things to combust: air, spark and gas. Without all 3, nothing happens.

Therefore, what would happen if I blocked off a TB, pulled a aprk plug wire, or pulled the fuel pump fuse (or a fuel injector, or a conenctor to a fuel injector)...the car or cylinder would NOT burn or combust.(not run)

The stock ECU programs in the ability to cut fuel (or spark) when something damaging may happen, such as exceeding allowable RPM's.

It's all pretty standard stuff...
