Bad injector?
I have a 1997 sr5 and seem to have a dead cylinder. After investigating by pulling some plug wires I've found that its cylinder 6. I swapped the plugs in 2 and 6 and the problem was still in cylinder 6. The #6 plug wire has a strong arc against the spark plug tube when I removed it while the engine was running so I wouldn't imagine it's the boot or coil pack. My next guess would be a fuel injector. I've never encountered a bad one, however I feel that's a possibility. The engine has a miss on #6 at/close to idle, but from about 1500 rpms and up it runs perfectly smooth. Has anyone encountered a similar problem or does anyone have any suggestions of something I'm missing? Any information would be helpful.
Thanks,
