Hi sophie1460,

Thank you for the donation.

Check the fuel injector wiring circuit. Unplug the connector and test the White/Red wire for battery voltage with ignition switch turned ON. If voltage is not available, check for broken wire between the injector terminal and the wire, which is spliced to wire of same color of all other injectors.

If voltage is available, check the Yellow/Black wire for continuity to the Yello wire of injector of # 2 cylinder. If continuity is not found, check the wire for an open, they should be connected.
