    Possible damage from running 5 cyld's?

    So I was just randomly talking to my brother about his new headers (commodore) and we decided to compare them to my stock manifold. Took a look in the engine bay and oh! one of my leads is hanging loose.
    Could this have caused any damage internally seeing as ive been driving around?
    Probably only been like this for a week. (changed plugs and cars been off the road)

    apart from the urge to kill yourself when a civic walks past you not much. well the fuel would be watering down the oil but you would have other things fuck up by the time that has been a problem.

    Flush the oil new filter and plug the lead in

      if you HAVE to drive it like that, unplug that one injector

      that way fuel wouldn't spoil the walls/rings

        i had an ex-gf who drove around on an 5 cylinders for at least half a year. i was 17 and didnt know what was wrong with the car. just that it was not running right. haha. all it needed was a new spark plug. it was fine.
