- Sat Apr 10, 2010 8:37 pm #186827 Ive been having a little issue with my ls swap into my eg. I sent the head to the machine shop because i had a misfire on cylinder 1 and when i went to change the sparkplug the bitch broke. So now i just got the head back from the machine shop and the bitch cylinder is still misfiring. I want to know if the problem might be in the injector or the cable. Help please

Yur

if you are then check the fuel injector, take the rail off and swap it to another cylinder and if the misfire flows that injector then its bad

if the injector and its gettin spark
then do a compression check, you could have low compression in that cylinder

You could also get a stethiscope with a pointer on the end (metal rod...) and hold it to the intector. If it clicks like a relay, it's good.
