5.3 LH6 engine misfire in cylinder 1 no nother codes. Compression 80 - 90. Mechanic indicates Wet compression test indicates no ring damage but it is unclear because each compression test on that cylinder yields different pressures. I'm thinking a loose or damaged lifter. I am not in a position to fix it now. Can I unplug the fuel injector and coil pack and run it until I can fix it? Or do I need to UBER it to work. My thought is that if fuel is sprayed into cylinder and does not burn, raw gas will be exhausted thru cat and may seep down the cylinder walls ruining the viscosity of oil. I've driven it less than 100 miles since the misfire started and anticpate less than 2-300 more. If I go that route, I've seen a video that states cylinder six would cancel cylinder 1 out, so should I unplug that cylinder as well? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
