If you've read my other posts about my popping problem, you know my engine is doing something funny. It stops "popping" when I pull #2 plug wire.
I'm taking it to the mechanic's on Monday. He is about 30-40 minutes away. Will I screw anything up in a major way if I drive there, nice and slow, on three cylinders?

i wouldn't risk it- just from a peace of mind standpoint, have it towed. If you don't already have a membership, sign up with AAA, just for the emergency towing service- the cost is less than a tow, and it may be something you will use again. Sign up today, have your bus towed on monday, and your cost is already paid back!

Yes, tow it for the cost of the membership.
