wow really? on cylinder #1, the compression is good, the fuel is good, the spark should be good, the only thing left is either a REALLY stuck valve or a valve clearance that is way outa wack.

make sure to test your TPS, O2, and VAMF sensors as well. if those come back ok then you definitely know it is a valve problem because that would be the last possibility. what is your timing set at?

i missed this... definitely check that out. mine always runs like crap with a vac leak.

The timing is set at 5 degress btdc.

It idles where it is supposed too.

I can't find a vacuum leak even though it sounds like there is one.

try spaying stater fluid or ether around the suspected vacuum leak and see if the idle changes.

The #1 injector I took out had no ohm reading. I sent all four to 22re performance who sent them out to someone in Texas (my four plus an xtra one), five were returned to me; the bad one was marked "bad" and four others were packaged and ready; "good to go"

I did not test them when I got them back(did not even think I would have to recheck their work), but it seems unlikely that one of the four they sent back to me is bad and I just happen to put it in the #1 injector position, but i guess anything is possible.

I guess the connector could also be bad?
