getting no gas to cyl #3!!!!

i'm pretty sure it's the one in the rear, middle. that's no 3 right? anyway, i pulled the plug to see if i'm getting spark. that sparked just fine, anyway, the car was runnin for like 30 seconds with the plug out, it stalled, i went to sniff over the hole and my buddy started it back up and i got a bunch of puffs in the face, i didn't smell any fuel. sounds like injector right? i have to pull the upper plenum to get to the rear injectors right? thanks

Before you go too far in pulling the upper plenum, check a few easy things first:
Test the injector internal resistance. It should be 10-14 ohms.
Also check to see if you are getting any voltage at the injector connector.
If you are OK on both counts, then you'll have to pull the plenum. BTW, after you pull the upper plenum, there is the lower adapter plate that is bolted to the lower manifold that you will have to unbolt to get to the injectors. Good luck.

Right, no need to take off the intake collector for the electric tests. There's a small metal clip you need to pry off with a small flathead on the injector plugs. Once thats off the injector plugs come right off. If you see any green junk then there's corrosion. Scrape/file it off and sometimes that's all an injector will need to start working again.

I would say do a compression test first. If you have compression then it is fuel. If not, you have problems
