Disconnected Spark Plug Questions
If one spark plug was disconnected, I imagine the car (89 Honda civic sedan dx) would still run, but poorly.
But would it cause smoke to come through the heat/ac vents? and stop the AC from working?

Re: Disconnected Spark Plug Questions (leroyb)
Are u saying that u took out a spark plug, and ur car started smoking through the vents? I don't see how that's related, probly just coincidence. What does the smoke smell like? Does it smell like coolent? Burning plastic? What's ur car temp guage staying at?

Re: Disconnected Spark Plug Questions (Vero)
no way would those two be related problems. as far as spark plug goes, when you leave one out it should still start but it's gonna sound like a lawn mower, and as far as your heater and ac goes, i'd check the relays and all related parts

exactly, there is no way it would cause smoke to blow through the heat systems or stop the AC from working.

no. we did it to stop a kid from drinking and driving. We pulled 3 of the plugs from this motor. We left 2 wide open in plain view and left the third one in the slot, but not connected.
he started the car on 1 plug, it stalled out. Figured out the plugs were missing and put them in, started the car and drove off. I believe he only put the 2 plugs back that were wide open and didnt catch the other that was left in the hole but not connected.
He is now claiming that we broke his car. He says it blows smoke out of the heat vents inside the car and that the A/C no longer works.
