Remove the spark plug wire one cylinder at a time. The spark plug wire
removed on the cylinder with the bad injector will not cause an additional
miss.

Jezze Louise, Wilbur, are you really this stupid? *Spark Plugs on a
Diesel Engine? *There actually IS one design that does have this
arrangement, but International Harvester hasn't built one in 50 years....

My grandfather had one of those. It was actually a dual fuel engine.
Gas was used
to warm it up, after about 5 minutes you simultaneously shut off the
gas and
opened up the diesel flow, a two handed operation that took a bit of
practice.
