running but not right, advice requested
it starts just fine, but between start up and operating temp it sometimes cuts out cylinder 1. new injector, new plugs and wires, new DME temp, new ref and crank sensors, new cap and rotor. if i just let it idle crappily long enough it works through it and runs just fine after that. looking for help on what to replace next, thanks in advance

Drifting
Possible bad seal on injector where it plugs into intake manifold, injector electrical connector, intake manifold gasket leak at that port, Spark plug gap or defective plug, vacuum leak at temp sensor, O2 sensor. Good luck

could you please elaborate on what you mean by vacuum leak at temp sensor? im not quite sure where vacuum plays into that....i thought it was all electrical. is factory gap still recommended? for some reason i think i had to buy the "equivalent" so would that cause a different gapping? i remember having to close them all a little bit to get to what the book recommends....
