Shutting off the fuel to one cylinder, while letting it still breathe air, will throw off the mixture feedback from the oxygen sensor. The car will go into "limp mode."

Unplugging spark plug wires while letting fuel flow through wastes fuel. The remaining cylinder has to work harder to make the car go, and the other ones get the increased fuel flow, too.
