This of course caused the cylinder not to fire making the car run poorly and smoke.

When I read that, it made me laugh so much that the other people in the internet cafe looked at me like I was crazy 
I've done stuff like that before too. Once, I did valve cover gaskets on my Lincoln Town Car, and I forgot to hook the MAP sensor back up. It took me about three hours and pulling the upper intake plenum back off to figure out why my 5.0 gasser was blowing black smoke like an old Cummins and getting single-digit gas mileage.
