Ok, I need a new fuel injector--Edit---FIXED!

It looks like the ones in front would be easy but I need one for the rear bank, middle cylinder. (Would that be #2?)
I swapped the coils and it made no difference. I did make sure the coils were good. I pulled the suspect one and fired up the car. I got a strong blue spark from it.
It seems like a PITA to have to pull the intake manifold to change an injector but I guess it could be worse.
I also found out that one bolt that secures one of the front coils was broken off so I had to pull the front valve cover and drill it out and tap the hole.

Who has the best prices on injectors and the gaskets I'll need?
I'll check locally here first but if I can get a big savings, I'll order online.

Thanks in advance.

If you plan on keeping the car awhile, I'd recommend replacing the knock sensor and knock sensor subharness while the intake manifold is off. It goes bad with age, and causes hesitation in the low end of the powerband. To check the KS, get a multimeter that can test resistances greater than 5MOhms and make sure there is continuity between the two prongs of the KS harness connector. JRNissan is having a sale on knock sensors, $85 shipped which is a BARGAIN.

BTW, go to www.4dsc.com for a writeup on the knock sensor, which is basically a writeup for the injectors too.

The rear (bank 1) middle injector is the #3 cyl.

Fixed. I picked up an injector at Autozone.
It wasn't too bad of a job pulling the intake off, It took about 4 hours total for the job and I really was figuring it out aas I went along. I need to go buy a manual.
Is the Hayne's manual worth buying? The one for the 944 is worthless.

I also checked the ECU codes and got #55. I suppose all is well.

Next up, exhaust leak, balance the tires, and get a stereo in this thing
