Critical, yes. But always "fvcked"....no.
Just depends on the problem and how much you know about what is wrong. I pinpointed my one non-firing cylinder, disconnected the injector, and drove for an hour. The only possible ill effect I was aware of is unburned fuel f'ing up the cat....but I think I took care of that by disconnecting the injector. Any other problems that could occur or develop from driving on 3 cylinders? At any rate, you're right it is critical, but if you DO know which system it is, then you can weigh your options.

but...most people don't have the knowhow to figure out what is wrong, as per this post subject
Not to say I would be able to figure it out either, but I would say that you would be better off not driving your car on the basis of not knowing. Might be catastrophic to your engine, might not, why risk it?
