Just checked the fuel pressure, it's 49 psi at idle, and I changed the spark plugs the other night. I'm thinking its an injector or the coil rail, anybody got an opinion?

Little more info. I jus electrically tested the injectors, I came up with 6 12.8 ohm readings, so the injectors aren't bad.

sorry if I am in the wrong place, if so- yell at me as to where I should ask this question. What sensor would cause me to lose third and overdrive. I'm going nuts trying to figure this out. No codes have been thrown.
