It takes three things to make "far in the hole" Heat (Compression)
Fuel, and oxygen. A miss can be scored cyl or broken piston (Rare),
A bad IP (rare) or a bad nozzle (common), or lack of oxygen (rare,
but a rag left in the intake could do it if it didn't get drawn into
the cylinder)
I'd play the odds, and go with a supply of filters and a spare injector assy.
having done the "oops, I got an eBay care" deal, I would advise
trailer home. If you are pretty sure it is a small issue, have an
indy (find a local lister to assist) go over it to make it safe to
drive home. Fresh fluids and filters all around before you drive.
Issue is not a glow plug if you only have 4 working pistons.
Injector problem if you have miss past the first few minutes. Once
it warms up you will get fire on all five. E300D had bad #6 glow
and you would have rough start, then a few blocks later it was full
power again.
