You'd really notice if it was running on one rotor.
It'll run if the top 2 were disconnected.

A tiny bit of context might help.

Factory ecu or aftermarket?

Which leads were off? Assuming it drove well I'd expect trailing.

Any modifications?

Is ut running on petrol?

Wonder if someone did the supersecret "Anti Detonation Kit" that some company was selling and making people agree to an NDA, that just turned out to be threaded inserts that eliminated the trailing spark plugs...

It was the two plugs on the far right .
I hooked them up and took it for a run . Seemed to boost good but I have nothing to compare to if ya get me . First drive home was in the dark and wet and couldn’t see so didn’t go past 100kmph , I gave it a lot more after hooking them up today . Feels to run good. Yup Petrol works haha , oh Iv a lot to learn 😬
