It would still run, but a 4 cylinder missing one cylinder is really really rough.

Unless the valve hits just right, breaks off, turns just right to bind the piston and bend a rod. Then it might stop running.

The likelyhood of a valve spring failing is very low, even on the effected engines. The likelyhood of multiple springs failing at the exact same time is basically zero.



Always a good idea to put the VIN in the NHTSA website and make sure there aren’t any outstanding recalls. If it’s at the dealer they will obviously have been taken care of.
