Re: cylinder #5 not working. Can i Drive?
^ To follow up on Brian's comments, the unburned fuel that is making it's way in and out (via the exhaust valves) of that cylinder is being sent through the exhaust system and the catalytic converter(s). This will greatly shorten the life of the converter(s). If the fix is relatively cheap, (faulty spark plug, faulty spark plug wires or a bad fuel injector) I would opt for fixing it ASAP. If it is something more expensive like a burned valve, then you have to decide how long you want to keep this car and how much money you are willing to put in to it.
