You have a car with an HT lead? How very quaint.

How else do you think the spark plug operates?Â* (Diesels excepted)

You've not looked at an engine made in the last 20 years or so?

yep. coil pack, HT leads...

So you think removing one HT lead would stop it running? You probably
do.

no, but swapping two might work

Not very likely, many engines just spark on all cylinders at the same
time. Only one is actually in a state where it will ignite.

I think that would only work on a two cylinder engine, like the
motorcycle I used to have where the spark plugs were wired in series, so
the plug of one cylinder fired at the end of the compression stroke and
the other at the end of the exhaust stroke.
