I believe my car has blown a cylinder. Can I drive the car like this and for how long. The car is so old we really don't have the money to put into it, but I live in a small rural area and I need the car to get around.

Hi there .

It may last a day, a week or a month or more , there is not set rule, only the more you drive it the more damage you will be doing to the point of total failure.
