Sometimes, yes, but it will run poorly, and it would not be advisable to drive it that way except for a trip to a shop. Run for too long on three cylinders will cause carbon to build up in the non-functioning cylinder, which could lead to some much more serious problems.

What cylinders go to which coil pack?

I have a 4 cyl. Chevy Corsica that needed a coil pack replaced. There are two of them, one goes with the odd number cylinders ( 1 & 3) and the other goes with the even number cylinders (2 & 4) Typically, the number 1 cylinder is the firing cyliinder and if that coil pack is gone, the car should not start. My car is a rarity that actually started and ran on the 2 & 4 cylinders.
