It can mean one of two things; it is either has a three-cylinder engine, or perhaps a four cylinder engine where one isn't working. A "cylinder" is the part of an internal combustion engine (gas engine) where the power is generated.

If you are asking WHY one of the cylinders wouldn't work, several causes are; fouled spark plug, clogged or dead fuel injector, bad or loose spark plug wire, bad ignition coil for that cylinder.

Why does a car that runs fuel cells have a similar overall efficiency to a car that runs on petrol?

A car that runs on fuel cells only has a similar overall efficiency to a car that runs on petrol because a car that runs on fuel cells is designed to not pollute the Earth but you need renewable energy resources to generate the electricity which is like the efficiency of the petrol pollution. That was what I put on my homework anywayz. :)
