Nonworking Cylinder 3

Hey guys, I have seemed to fix all my problems but My cylinder 3 still isn't working. The injector is fine, the spark plug is fine, it gets spark, the injector harness is supplying the right voltage, and the ECU isnt throwing any codes. Any ideas to get the max to full strength?

ah, see you didn't say that the injector was replaced.
have you checked the resistance on the wire?
have you pulled the dist cap to check it's contacts?
I doubt its the rotor (it would likely affect all the cylinders not just one)
same goes for the coil.
have you checked to see what kind of spark #3 is getting?
is it a nice blue one? or a weak yellowish one?
just some food for thought

its getting a nice blue spark, i checked the dist. cap and its great (brand new), but what kind of resistance should i be looking for on the wire, and by wire do you mean injector harness?

I'm refering to the plug wires, but if you've got a good blue spark, then they're probably fine.
Do a compression check, cause that's my last idea at the moment
