my second cylinder is ####ing up during idle...i would get a real lumpy idle/if i rev it...it dies out...i know its the second cylinder because when i pull the second injector plug to it...it wont make a difference...i swaped wires/plugs/coil pack/injectors already...still no fix...when i pull the spark plug wire out...i notice that the spark from that cylinder is weaker/not has frequent as the other wires...can someone please help me ive spent the last week trying to figure it out...thanks...

this is a 6 bolt in 2g...
 
How does cyl 3 spark look? If it's weak also, you've got a weak coil or power transistor unit. Otherwise you have to have either a bad plug, spark wire, injector, or poor compression in that cyl (have it tested).
