My 93 Aerostar will run fine when cold once it has warmed up it will skip on 1 cyl when you restart it. If you let cool it will start and run fine. The engine does not use oil, no smoke, no odd noises from the engine. I have done a complete tune up (wires, plugs, cap, rotor, ect) I have no check engine lights, no codes what so ever. I done a compression check all cyl have 140-145.
I'm leaning towards a fuel injector shutting down what do you think?

It could be a fuel inj. Problem. Because there are no codes, we don't know what cylender is missing. I'm leaning to a weak coil.

It skips on 2 cylinders 1 & 2 both on the right side. The coil has been replaced along with the Dist and module. I can get both cylinders firing on the highway with a steady throttle. I have checked the cam with a dial indicator and its well within spec's. I just ran injector cleaner and that helped. So I'm going to replace the injectors and hope for the best unless someone can enlighten me to another possible cause.

Hi:
If the compression is good and ignition is firing properly, that is the last choice. Let me know what you find.
