pulling a wire off while running will no hurt your car... mechanics do it all the time.. replace the cap if it broke by just pulling a wire off it was going to break anyways.. they cheap.. replace the rotor too

actually it does mess your car up...it causes it to misfire and put raw fuel through the exhaust and raw gas ruins your catalyst...mechanics dont do that all the time, they temp disable componets by disconnecting fuel or spark to find a problem, well a real mechanic anyway...anywho
