Got a Question about missing spark plug...
So, I have this issue with plug #7. About 2 years ago there was an insert installed, then it blew 1 year later. I replaced it with another insert (now I'm ordering the Cal Van Kit 38900) but waiting for its arrival. Can I drive with a missing plug for a few days? It's going to be back and forth to work, nothing more, about 35 miles total.

It is going to run rough as hell. The computer probably won't like it, may over fuel and take out the cat. You keep trying to milk this antifreeze leaking, bad headgasket, spark plug spitting engine along, you might want to start saving for a long block instead of a head gasket.

can you - potentially (with the injector and coil unplugged but you’ll risk engine damage for sure
should you - no way and if you’re “trying to save money” then walk, bum a ride, get a bus pass, something intelligent
