front rotor is gone

looks like my front rotor is gone sigh...i did the poor man compression, i first removed the leading plug and plug wires for the front rotor, removed the egi fuse, crank it up, didn't h ear any whoosh, put the plugs and wires back, removed the rear plugs and wires, crank it up, hear good whoosh sounds. Can i comute for a while with just my rear rotor? I do i removed the injectors for my front rotor?

NO!!!
don't even think about continuing to drive with just one rotor working properly!!
You will cause even more damage to the whole system plus your catalyzer is going to melt due to unburned fuel escaping the front housing!!!

in the end this is going to be much more expensive!!

And your lawnmower tractor would probably feel more powerful.

LOL. This is very true, it would be exceedingly difficult to drive in any type of traffic, considering the ability to acceperate is all but gone. Not to mention the cloud of smoke that is going to be dumping from the exhaust.

Driving the car on one rotor will cause additional stress to the rotor that is working and it will not last very long.
