im starting to think the cylinder is dead. on one side i have spark and on the other side i have a live injector wire. i know i put a new injector in, but im going to go switch two of them up and see what happens.

there is a more noticeable diff when i unhook #2. so i used the #1 plug on #2 and it smoothed out like when it is plugged in correctly. #1 still does nothing and code still reads p0201
