running on 3 cylinders?

[pocb7]

OK before I get into the question let me tell you guys a story first, hope you don't mind.

Last night I parked the car literally aorund the corner from my house at around 11pm. Checked back again today after work at 5pm,while walking towards the car I can see the lock inside is up. At a closer inspection the door is indeed unlock. Well you know whats next.

I sat down in the car and the whole Pioneer head unit (without the face plate) is gone, the glove compartment is open and the faceplate and my in car XM radio is gone (Yes I'm stupid for leaving those things in the glovebox) plus 12 cds which are some of my favorite (no bootleg cds all original which makes it worse). To top everything off I checked the trunk and my Infiniti 10inch power subwoofer is also gone.

Good thing I had the club on the brake pedal or my car would be gone too.

Alright Thanks for listening, sorry for the long story, but the question is can the car start with only three spark plug wires?

What, they got one of your spark plug wires too? Yeah, the car will start with only 3 wires. Don't drive it too long like that though, if that is what you're planning on doing.

LOL.No, all 4 wires still there but I thought about disabling the ignition somehow you know for safety measure while I park on the street.

damn man i also thought they went through the trouble to take one only one sparkplug wire lol, ehhh *clearsthroat* sorry about the losses man i hate to hear these kind of things.
at least they didnt try to steal your engine or something or hell even the whole car.

Popping a plug wire won't kill the car...it'll run, badly but it'll run.

[Ilikebigbutts]

I had my firing order wrong so basicly my car started and it was running on two cylinders but dont worry as soon as you turn the steering wheel(if you got power steering) the car will just die.Plus it will back fire like a mother fucker so you can hear them lol

Pull the ecu fuse and keep it in your wallet. It'd take hours to figure that one out.

thats exactly what i was gonna say.

[MRX]

i havne't tried the one in the cabin tho...guess i'll try it out today. I always take the one from the engine bay for some reason.

[93wagonEX]

i assume it would do the same thing.

you could also remove the starter relay.
fuel pump relay/fuse.

Your car will start on only 3 cylinders....I know that first-hand. You can run on 3 injectors too but only to 3500 rpm in each gear if you pull one of the injector connectors out & the check engine light will be on of course.
