Disconnect cyl 1 injector while idleing and see if it makes a difference in how it runs, and check injector resistance(cyl 1 and others for reference), and post results

Try what fox suggested. Also, you could swap the connectors between cyls 1 & 2 to see if the code still says cyl 1 (if it does, the problem is in the computer or wiring). If it now throws a code for cyl 2, the problem is the #1 injector (which it now thinks is cyl 2).

try swapping the injectors and see if it moves to #2. if it does then replace your injectors.

I already swapped them out injector works fine in the #2 cylinder. I used a stethoscope to see if the #1 cylinder injector was clicking and its not used a test light to see if its got power while idling an it has power..... any suggestions

This is kind of a pita to do, and a two person job. But unbolt the fuel rail and remove it along wroth the injectors from the manifold (leaving the injectors in the rail), now take 6 soda bottles and put the injectors in them to catch the fuel, now with one person watching/analyzing the spray pattern and amount go and crank the engine over for about 10 seconds, then post back with results

-atomization equal between all 6?
-are all 6 spraying?
-is cyl 1 lacking in fuel delivery?

Also, if you notice a problem with an injector, try swapping some stuff like injector plugs to see if the problem follows
