Compression - leak down test then try swapping the injectors if you know which cylinder is miss firing.

Subject: Dead Cylinder -91 Carat - 2.1 L WBX

Heres the deal. Feels like one cyinder is dead -until it reaches near 2000
rpm -then it kicks in. Put a load on as when going up a hill and that
cylinder drops out -once again it feels like its running on three
cylinders. Using my ECU Monitor, the ignition path is good to the
distributor. From the distributor to the plugs checks good with a strobe
and I get a good, strong spark at the plugs themselves. Still no joy!

The only thing left(not counting the AFM -and I get a good signal from it)
is the throttle body and the injectors themselves. I don't think this is a
throttle  body problem because the air flow would be the same to all
cylinders. The last item on the list is the injectors. The injector pulse
is good so I suspect a bad injector,  plugged or partially so. Yet there is
only about 25 miles -but about 5 years of sitting idle and never running
since the injectors were serviced just  before it was parked.

Would anyone else think "bad injector" as well?

Would appreciate any input or comments on this.

Thanks,

John
