It should not hurt it,as long as it is not running hot,will burn more fuel though.

If its a short trips maybe? Also depends on how bad its running. Is it misfiring because the Plug Or Plug Wire? If its a wire make sure its kept off other wires or metal. If you know its a plug stop at a auto-zone or O'Rielys they will let you borrow the tools to change it out may even help you too if you ask. Same with the plug wires.
