i sold my old daily driver with a dead cylinder that i didnt tell him about. and he says hes getting poor gas mileage. So I'mgoing to unplug the injector and hope for the best. Its kinda a holish to do but i need a trans in my 5.0 and my boss just gave me a brand new daily driver...I sold a mint 89 bronco2 with 165,000 miles with all vehicle service records since it left the dealership in 89 for 2500 with a dead cylinder. I gotta at least help the guy out i feel guilty
