Well my VE went down to 5 cylinders, came back to 6 for about 4 hours, then down to 5 again for the last 2 days. The one located right under the oil cap went out (2, I think??) Checked coils, they were good. Swapped in different ones to make sure.

I jumped to the conclusion it was injectors. Put the entire front fuel rail off of my 93 VE parts car, and it ran great. This morning I went out, and the same cylinder is not fireing again.

Did a injector really go out overnight? In the same spot as before? The one thing I did not check was spark plug. Could that possibly cause this issue?

Thanks,
Geoff

I would check the spark plug first just to be sure. It's a lot cheaper to replace a bad spark plug, then to do a injector first only to find it was the plug

you needs a noid light.
it may be bad wiring
though when you replaced it with a USED one, it's possible that it was on it's way out too, not likely though

you should have just rebuilt the engine. forget all that hard stuff like checking your spark plugs.

you should check for spark but i am 99% its a fuel issue either injector, wiring or posibly ecu output

Ben, did you get your tranny parts? Also vans check your coils, I replaced MAF, O2, and was ready to do the knock when I decided to try coils. Problem fixed . Of course, I did have a complete parts car. I guess if your shelling out the money for parts, might want to investigate further than I did

Tranny? I don't remember ordering any tranny parts. I'm still waiting on my Koni struts though.

of all the VE's I've worked on/owned, only one of them had coil issues.
