Do you have a check engine light or any trouble code? Any actual symptoms that brought you to playing around with this injector?
Agree with above advice.
First, Use a "noid light" to check for injector pulse to that fuel injector.
Be sure injector, plug, plug wire, distributor cap are working properly.
A compression test is never a bad idea in the event that something internal is going on.

Ok compression was around 130 on all cylinders
And the injector sometimes works and doesn't
What made me play around with it was the fact that sometimes she ran perfect and otheres she wouldn't

Ok the easiest way to check the injector is swap it with another one. If the miss moves, your injector is bad. If it don't move then you have a electical problem. First I would clean the plug...and throw some Dielectric grease in there....see what happens. But the good news is your 3/4 into fixing it. Diagnosis is the most important. ...

Check it again at higher speed. If it's a vacuum leak affecting that cylinder will have power above idle.
Check the spark to it - hold the wire above ground -- it should be a crispy thin BLUE spark at least 1/2" long. Good way to test the plug wire. Ohm test won't always detect a bad plug wire.
Swap the plug with another cylinder - if problem moves ---.
On some the EGR Valve is back there, make sure it's closing all the way.
