Ok guys I have narrowed it down to two things first I measured the resistance in the injector pack on the fire wall everything checked out fine so I checked each injector and one was reading no ohms but the rest were fine. Does this mean that this injector is bad? I know someone else who had the same problem but his timing jumped 2 marks but my car runs and drives so idk if this could be the problem any help is appreciated. Thanks it also sounds like there's a click on the bad injector side of the valve cover.
 
by no ohms, you mean the tester displayed 'OL' ??
That would be an open circuit and a bad injector. The engine will run, but I would expect somewhat more than a 'small misfire'.....
Measure twice, cut once.. retest that injector and if it still reads open, you should start shopping for an injector or a full set
GL, report back on your findings
 
Yea it an open circuit I think everytime I test it reads nothing just on this injector. I'm going to get a replacement 450cc. Is it ok to drive the car 5 mins to school and back
 
Well... no fuel is less harmful than fuel with no spark but, I wouldn't recommend doing it for too long. I saw a few sets in the marketplace just yesterday.
The sooner the better, at least that is the legal-eeze I use with my customers !!
 
Lol yea I can't buy offline it would have to be local the bad thing is I've been driving it like this for a long time untill I recently learned what it was.

I just don't get how when I'm driving it smooth no missfire.
