Did you make sure the fuel rails aren't leaking? Is the injector new, or used? Does it ohm correctly? Have you checked the plugs?

no leaks on fuel rail, spark plugs new, new remanufactured injectors, all injectors and coil packs ohm good , upon further testing does this all the time stopped at idle, and when driving it hardly misses.

You've done power balance test and confirmed by ear all of the injectors and coil packs are working?

did the power balance test, switched the coil packs around still on same cylinder, also checked the injector and don't hear any malfunction. only other thing i can think of is ecu or harness. is there any way to read coil pack signal on connector.

Stick a long screw driver to the coil pack and injector then put your ear on it with the car running, if you hear loud obvious clicking then it's working. Also what did you get on the compression test compared to the rest of the cylinders?
