running rough
Just completed installing rebuilt injectors, new vacuum lines, intake gaskets,plugs, and other small misc items. Know 4 of the injectors are OK (done by Cruzin) but the other 4 were not tested before installing....it's a long story. Car started up OK, but there is a definite "miss". As the revs come up, it's like a ba-ba-ba-ba, almost like 1 cylinder is not firing. Idle is also a bit rough, but not terrible. I've double checked all vacuum connections and spark plug connections. It doesn't seem to be the smae type of miss I've experienced on other cars with electrical problem. The most obvious culprit is a bum injector; is there a way to find this out, or to isolate the cylinder that's causing the problem?

It is easy enough to pull the plug wires at the distributor, BUT as mentioned earlier, do it with the engine off or use an insulated plug wire remover. Have you checked the distributor cap for signs of carbon tracking?

Thanks guys.
I thought of pulling plug wires/injector connections. Please correct me if my logic is wrong, but I'm thinking that if I pull either plug or injector and the engine runs worse, then that cyl is OK. If uplugging either/or makes no difference, then I've found the problem cylinder?
Gawd, I hpe it's not some combination of both!
