it should. i would think that if a car can run on just the front rotor it should be able to on the rear. Why do you ask?

well the other day i was just fukin around with timing and plugs and i took the front rotor plug boots off and it died the rear rotor doesnt have enough compression to keep idle so i though maybe the front might naturally be able to keep idle better than front so a minute ago i unplugged the rear and it so couldnt keep idle is it likely that i am most likely a litlle low on idle could it be somthing else spark or fuel. i think the 7 runs great but i havent been in any other FB to compare.

Well, sometimes people are still able to idle on blown motors. You would probably be able to if you bumped your idle speed up a few hundred rpm. I don't really see any point though...?

when my engine died, it ran on 1 rotor and idled at about 450rpm. no need to bump the idle speed up.

i understand but you still had spark going to the bad rotor i assume, if so it is in turn causing some combustoin isnt it as opossed to not having any spark going to rotor at all . just a thought.
