have you checked pulling the injector plugs one at a time? If your engine stumbles, it's not that injector. If the engine stays the same, then it's that injector.

the injectors on this model truck (of which there are 2) are both powered from the same wire(or electrical source.

i wll try to figure a way to disconnect them one at a time.

also this problem is not happening all the time.

if it's intermittent, give your injectors the ol wiggle test.
