Default Car running on only 5 cylinders

So I was driving around and hit a bump and suddenly my car started idling really bad and power was way down. My SES light came on and then started flashing....it was night so I had to drive another 10 miles to service station. I pulled over, popped the hood and started looking for anthing suspicious. All hoses were connected and then I found the plug to the coil pack was totally unhooked. I hooked it up and the car runs fine now, but is there a chance I may have hurt the engine driving 10-15 miles with no signal going to that coil pack?

Should be fine. Didn't last long enough to cause damage I don't think.
