Last year I developed a miss and the computer read misfire in #4 cyl so I changed the plugs since the exp has 115K miles. Miss went away. This year it is reading both right and left banks lean so I changed the O2 sensors. Still CEL on so I read if both side codes pop at the same time the MAF sensor is bad. I had to wait til payday to get it, 3 days before I went down to get it, #4 cyl developed a miss. I checked the wires and 1 and 4 had melted wires so I changed them, still miss. Checked coil, sparking nicely, still miss. Checked plug, black from not firing. Fuel pressure within specs, still miss. Pulled injectors, no dirt or carbon on nozzle, still miss. I used a meter to check resistance and they all read between 21-23ohms, still miss. My last resort is, I'm switching place with #4 and 2 injector. Putting together tomorrow. Any help would be appreciated.
 






Found the problem....

I have never heard of just one spark plug going bad, but that's what it was...Anyone else had just one plug go bad?
