Default sr20det misfire?!?

so i just replaced my spark plugs and replaced all coil packs because i had a few cracks in my coil packs. i go to turn the car on and its running the same way.

like cylinder 1 is either not getting fuel or no spark.
i run the car and pull one coil pack to see how it runs..all 3 out of 4 are responsive.
the last cylinder(toward the firewall) dosent make a difference.. when i pull it it still runs the same.

has anyone had this problem? my sr20 shouldnt be sounding like a wrx right now lol.

i also noticed that that rear injector where the fuel line leads to...the hose where it leads to is having fuel pushed from it not a lot but as if there is a clog? but if that is clogged shouldnt it effect the other cylinders?

could it be the harness possible or something more serious like a timing issue?

Well if the last cylinder doesnt make a difference when you pull the injector plug off/coil pack wire than thats your proplem. Now check spark and and check voltage to the injector.

The easiest way to test the injectors is to put a long screw driver on the injector cap and listen for a "tick tick tick". Neighbors are dumb!!!

injector is working... im not getting spark on the cylinder that i changed the coil pack.
all spark plugs have black on them except that one. its wet....
i de flooded the cylinder thinking that was it, but its doing the same thing.

should i try and switch around the spark plugs and see?
do you think the harness is screwy?
