I have a 6 cylinder car. But only 3 cylinder is working. Do you know what is wrong with it?

Scan for codes, check fuel pressure, and check for vacuum leaks first.

Auto parts stores can scan it but normally you need a pro to do these things.

CHANGE THE PISTON OR CHECK THE SPARK PLUG FOR ADEQUATE TIGHTNESS

After being checked by other mechanic, they found out the problem is with the ecu. So they're checking on it now. And I really hope that is the problem cause it has been having problem for awhile now. Can't even find a good mechanic to check on it =/ anyway thanks for the ideas on what to check.
