If you do this, and are WOT enough, the coil pack will keep degrading to the point where you misfire constantly in that oen cylinder, and can result in a rod through the block. Not recommended at all.

Swap coil packs with a different cylinder, and *then* keep driving. Get a second coil pack code? End the ray or risk an engine.
