K here is the story i got back from vacation (2weeks) and the car ran fine the first day but the 2nd day started acting up. when i take off (normal driving) it studders and after getting up at mid range RPMs it runs fine.

I Found out one of the cylinders is not firing from what ive checked.

1.What i have done. ive pulled the injectors while idleing they work cause car starts to die DUH.

2.Pulled the pigtails from coil packs at idle all but one dosnt effect the motor.

thats where im stuck cause i pulled that coil pack out checked it even swapped with another one still when i pulled the pig tail nothing.

im thinking its either the coilpack harness pigtail or the sparkplugs. lmk what you think. Spark plugs have been ordered just waiting for them to come in.

Also there is no smoke or white coming out the exhaust.

if ur in OCEANSIDE and want to stop by to see if u can help LMK

Check resistance on faulty injector... Try swapping the coilpack from the dead cyl to a known working one and see if its the coil pack to blame. If the same cyl then doesnt work then possibly bad injector. Report back.

just because you unplugged the injector doesn't mean its still good.

check if you're getting voltage to that cyl from the pigtail. If not check where the source voltage should be coming. Just trace back.

Ignitor chip is a possibility too. Ive seen them test good when they are known bad on more than one occasion which puzzles me.
