Yeah, if you are getting spark, then the next thing to look at would be the injector. Oh, and don't forget to lay a guilt trip on your girlfriend for breaking your car so you can make her your sex slave for a little while.

could be a number of things.

hope it is the injector.

the compression rings on ur piston have gone bad. if ur exhaust is a blue color then ur oil control ring has gone bad too. these must be replaced if its your piston. this is worse than the injector but not worse than whats next.

cracked cylinder sleeve. most people swap out the motor or trade in the car. this is an expensive repair. this is a worst case scenario.

Exactly. Either injector or ECU. I have had both happen to me.
