Worried that I blew my head gasket 700

Ok so I'm pretty sure I am running on 3 cylinders.

I put the plugs back in, started it up, and pulled the plug wires one by one. Pulling the wire for cylinder #2 had no effect on the way the engine ran while all other wires did. And cylinder #2 was the spark plug that had no fuel smell on it. Also, all wires made spark when I touched them to the heat shield.

Not sure what is wrong there but I think that cylinder #2 is not getting fuel. I tried to feel the injectors for clicking while the car was running but couldn't feel the click on any of the injectors, I will try to listen with a screwdriver though.

Is it reasonable to think that my ballast resister is not functioning properly? For a long time I have been running with two of the wires connecting to the ballast resistor soldered on there.

Any further help is much appreciated.
