ok well after i got my rb20 started up and running, i checked to see if my coilpacks were good. So as the motor was on i would remove the coilpack plug and it would start reacting(shaking to be exact) ...connect the plug back in and it would be fine. My problem is that when i do this to cylinder #2 it does not react, i tried swithching the coilpacks around to check if it was that but no luck..checked if i was getting spark and i was..does this mean that its only running on 5 cylinders..what could be wrong?? injector?

any help is appreciated..thanks!!

could be a fuel injector.

Have you done a compression test?

Do a leak down test.It's better.

Now with the Spark test.Did you visually check or did you just check for the reaction of the motor?Because if your ignitor is bad then like the other guy who just posted up, it would kill one or more signals to your coils.

Visually check the Spark and then pull the rail and disconnect the injectors and then connect them to the battery and see if they fire.Or you could also check to see if each one is ticking.
