89 pickup 22re. no fire on no. 1 cylinder
It could be a fault in the wiring for #1 injector, or a defective spark plug in #1.
All four injectors have a hot wire to them with key on, the same black with red stripe wire is spliced to all four. Check if #1 has this hot wire with key on. The injector ground wire for #1 and #3 is a white wire with red stripe. These two ground wires splice together before the ground wire enters the computer. So the computer pulses #1 and #3 injectors simultaneously. (Injectors 2 and 4 have a similar set up, with a white wire being their ground.) If you have a hot wire to #1 injector, but no pulse on it, but #3 injector is pulsing (putting fuel into the cylinder), then the ground wire for #1 may be broke before it connects with the #3 injector ground. The wires and the splice are probably buried inside the engine wiring harness, so one could check for continuity on the ground side for 1 and 3. With key off, use an ohmmeter and check resistance between the grounds for #1 injector connector and #3-check on the harness side of the injector connectors-it should show low resistance-low ohms value. If very high resistance is shown, trace the ground wire from #1 injector.
