When you pull a plug wire that cylinder stops firing as you know. The engine will maintain the same idle speed however because the idle air circuit keeps the idle at 750 rpm. Try pulling a second wire off and you will notice that it gets real lumpy and will likely stall. If you try driving on 3 cylinders vs 4 you will notice a big difference.
