I have posted this problem a number of times. If I have a misfire in cylinder 2. This is coil on plugs. Can I pull the wire on number 2 you know like you use to be able to do when a cylinder was cutting out pull a spark plug wire to see what cylinder is was. And I would like to know is how you test the injectors to see if it is bad?

Yes but first I would remove all the plugs and do a compression test. It is common for the valve seats to fail in these units causing the miss.

Check all plugs for wear as well. The fuel rail needs to be removed to watch the spray pattern of the injectors.

I sure appreciate the advise, but why do you think it only does it when the AC is on?
