I read somewhere that they close the intake and exhaust valves, so the air
in the combustion chamber is compressed, then releases some of its compression
energy back to the piston to help reduce pumping losses.

I'm thinking this would not be
a good plan. For the piston engines you referred to, I bet they have a
way to control the valves with solenoids so the deactivated pistons aren't
producing compression.
Actually they do have compression. No fuel or fire.
