Default Running on 3 cylinders?

Engine runs rough at idle. Noticed one injector was not clicking so I unplugged it and plugged back in. The car still ran rough.
I checked the others by unpugging them one by one and they made the engine run differently, but still rough.
Just that second injector doesn't seem to be working how can I tell if that's the problem?
Could it be just the injector needs to be cleaned out or replaced? Could it be something worse?

Just check out your spark plugs. It's easy to see if one of the injectors does not work.

Spark Plug color will be different than the other plugs have. Be also sure all of your plugs are working!

You might also try wiggling the wire going to it as well. My old 944 had a connector that must have had a crack in the wire somewhere. When you bent it a certain way it wouldn't fire(the wire that is).
