Ok So driving home one day my car starting to run on only three cylinders and threw a mil light. I scanned it and it said injector coil resistance. I had a pair of low mile injectors from another 1g. I swapped out all the injectors. The first time I started it it was running on 3 cylinders again. But instead of being the number 2 cylinder it was the number 1. I checked the number one injector and it wasnt firing. So i pulled the rail and swapped in a good old one and she started up fine and idled fine. I drove it home and in the morning it started better than it ever has when it sits all night. it always started very well the rest of the day just a slight hesetation in the morning for about two seconds was all, but this morning she started better than ever. but after sitting for about 45 minutes after being driven it cranks longer and sputter for a second then all is well. then on lunch the number 1 started to misfire again. got to the shop and started pull plug wires untill I found the dead cylinder. Every time the it does this its the injector in that cylinder that stops firing. It has great spark and good plugs. So after work i swapped the number one for another good original and drove it home with no problems. i waited 45 minutes, went to the car and it starts with alot of cranking and sputters and clears up. i should add that every time an injector would stop firing if I let the car sit for over an hour and start it she runs fine until the next misfire. total driving since the problem has come and gone is about 75 miles. Thanks guys. I cleaned the injector plugs check for bad wiring...i just dont know what to look for next.
