[T3] Dead cylinder?


Hello,

Today I replaced all my plugs, wires, and the coil (old coil's spark was
yellow, replaced as per muir)

I started it up, and it still lacks power.    To kind of test things, I
checked the connection on  each of the fuel injectors. I went around the
running engine, breifly unplugging each, with each unplugged, the idle
kicked down and the engine struggled a bit. Until I got to the rear left
cylinder. When I unplugged it, it made no noticeable difference in the
engine idle.  I unplugged the spark plug for that cylinder, the same
thing, it didn't kick down the idle or anything, even though that
cylinder is getting spark.

I'm thinking I may have either a bad fuel injector or a bad connection
to that injector.

I checked my Haynes, but there wasnÕt much FI info.

How can I test the connection and injector to make sure they're working
properly?

Thanks!
Ben
