Haha that about as good as when I did it to dodge15004x45.9 lol.

That brings up a point with the fuel injector, as I do smell gas sometimes like it is running rich or something, but if it was the case of a bad injector(s), would that not throw a code especially if it is running rich? I think that I will take it somewhere else for a second opinion, an indpendant shop that is also a Napa Repair Center, they are full service repair facility, and they don't charge $95 an hour like the Dodge dealer does.

One option is to swap out the injector on that cylinder with one on a different cylinder and see if your misfire moves with the injector. If so, then you'll have your answer, and can replace the stuck injector. I'd recommend replacing the o-rings at the same time. The fuel rails are pretty easy to remove.

You're not being graded, don't be a baby about it. Just letting you know that when you write sentence after sentence with no paragraph breaks and very little periods or commas, its hard to read.

It sounds like you have some knowledge on the stuff, and I am not saying you need to strive for perfection in these posts. Just an attempt at punctuation is all I really ask, makes it a lot easier to read and there is far less room for misunderstanding what you post.
