I did it and I posted it up once upon a time, what do you want?

Synopsis:

Tempo 2.3 OHV; disconnnected injector pairs 1 & 4, then 2 & 3 while also pulling the rocker arms for said pairs. Engine wouldn't quite start; wanted to, but couldn't quite. Re-enabled one cylinder for 3 live; started, ran, sounded like isht, ran like isht but was able to go highway speed. Couldn't take it for long.

Other: simply pulled injector wire pairs. Ran, could go highway speed, gutless, lots of WOT. Fail.

Happy?
