My son's 92 now has a dead #4 cylinder. He recently did a compression check, all cylinders showing 150-160psi. It ran well for a few days, then started running rough, lacking power.

Pulling the #4 spark plug wire had no effect on the engine, unlike the rest of the cylinders. I pulled all the spark plugs, and all looked good, with good spark tests for all of them. Disconnecting the #4 injector had no effect on the engine.

Could this be anything else but a bad #4 injector? Are they difficult to replace?

Thanks guys...

Seems likely that the injector is bad - not too difficult to replace either. Other possibilities could be something causing the valves to remain closed but unlikely.
