mis-fire #4
noticed it has been running a little rough. through an engine light code #0304
mis-fire cylinder #4.
changed plugs....no change
changed wires....no change
changed cap......no change
changed rotor.....no change
after changing all that out i started it up and it through the same code.
have not tried swapping injector to another spot and see if it throws the same code like #0302 for cylinder #2
ohmed the injector. had 13.1 ohms, verified against another injector same 13.1ohms
so to me the injector is not bad, meaning dead.
going to store to get some sea foam, i hear WONDERS!!! about this. hoping this will clean the injector out and the others to.
any other suggestions? i have not done a compression test. avoiding that as i dont have a screw in type i have the you got hold onto super tight in hole one.
2000 1500 4X4 5.9ltr with 175k
hoping to not go the change the injector route yet. about $69 per. did just find some cheaper $20 but will do research on quality

i kinda agree with you there. i am just hoping its really clogged up.
little update. i checked the compression and it was good about 165psi compared to another cylinder and it had the same.
wife had a stethoscope and i placed on the injector and i can hear it ticking away. so its working.
had a budy of mine suggest tapping on the injector and maybe its clogged and tapping it may clear it up. wellllll that may have been the trick. took it for a test drive and wow is she strong now. ran good idled good so now time will tell if it throws the code again
