Hey quick question before my parts arrive - my marelli car has the 1 bank not gertjng spark...fair enough my rotor and coils are well past due.

IF i disconnect the injectots on the bad side will that keep them off and not flooding the combustion chamber? I need to start and move the car 20ft and it cant be rolled as is.

I would simply start it, move it 20ft, shut it down.

I seriously doubt anything is going to get hot enough to damage in that few seconds.

Any raw fuel pumped will evaporate in a day or 2 without human intervention.

I think you're fine in this case. The problem is when the distributor quits once everything is hot.
