today I went to the bowling alley and when i came out the car started but was misfiring badly. The misfire cleared up at higher rpms. So I go home and hook a scanner up to the car and pull the code. It showed cylinder 1 misfire. I checked the spark plugs, changed them around and the wires and they all looked ok and the misfire persisted thorughout this.
I started the vehicle and started unpluging the injectors. When I unplugged cyclinder #1's injector it made no difference to the idle. I got out my multi meter and set it to ohms and read the resistance of all the injectors. All of them gave me readings except for cylinder #1. I tried doing the 9volt battery test but couldn't get any of them to click for some reason.
Is it safe to say the injector is shot? Is there a way to pull it apart and see if something is wrong internally. I guess now would be the time to upgrade to higher performance injectors. Can I just upgrade to a higher performance injector without changing anything else or would I have to tune it?
