Running On 7 Cylinders?

[Detroiit]

Hey guys..

I was installing my injectors for the future install of my blower. Long story short I put all of them in yesterday and noticed I forgot to put the nyogel on the connections so today after I got back from the range I started to pull the adapters and connections apart to properly coat the connections. I noticed that my number 4 cylinder injector had nothing plugged into it... Hmmm.. after some searching I found the connector behind the motor by the bell housing. I pulled it up and it had mud and debris all over it LIKE IT WAS NEVER PLUGGED IN. Is this possible? Could my car run strong on only 7 cylinders? It does have a E cam and has a rough idle anyway... but makes me wonder if I just somehow missed it yesterday and forgot to plug it in or it was never plugged in?

Ha. Imagine how it will run on all 8.

Did it have the traditional "I've got a cam choppy idle, or the shake of a car with an engine miss?

There is absolutely no way around it, if one injector wasn't plugged in, then it was running on 7 cylinders.

Ive never had a car with a cam. It did shake the car, but I didn't notice a miss. I thought that something wasn't right. I had a lower idle at 680 rpm even if I advanced the timing to 14*. (not sure if this could affect it or not). Im going to go through the 30# injectors tomorrow that I took out and look at all the connections to see if I can find one that has debris were the connection should of been. It did run strong so I dont see how this could be... but you never know I guess..

I had a physically broken spark plug so i was running on 7 for a couple days.. It still ran and i could lay rubber but you could tell something wasnt right especially at low rpm acceleration. Ran like a dream after i replaced all the plugs.
