Can a 4 cylinder motor run on 3 cylinders?

Yes, a 4-cylinder engine can run on 3 cylinders, but not ideally. It will run rough, lose significant power, and likely overheat if run for any extended period. One cylinder not firing means a loss of roughly 25% of the engine's power and uneven combustion can cause damage over time.
