Question about running engine with disconnected fuel injector?

My little old reliable 94 CX just let me down. It has dropped a cylinder. It only registers 25psi on a compression check vs 165 for the other three. Put some oil in and only registered 35psi, so it appears a valve related problem, or worse yet a piston problem. Anyway the question is would it be ok to run the engine with the injector disconnected or do I need to put a resistor across the connector to simulate the injector being in the loop. I don't want to wash down the cylinder and dilute the oil, while still running the engine till I fix the problem.
