Default Help with diagnosing a miss, HELP ASAP!!!

So i was tryin to tune the fuel pressure with the fpr i just put on and just in the beginning i was picking up a slight miss lower in the rpm but would easily clear up in the top end, and as i would put a pound or two of fuel in it would clear up, but after time would come back until it finaly ran like complete **** and died. So i thought it was a fouled plug or two and went and got plugs and put in it as well as the factory fpr and it did start back up. but the longer i went it started running crappy again, and the wideband shows like 16.5-19 (very lean). But i was tryin to babie it home running on 2 cylinders when all the sudden it sarts to clear up and run on all 4 again but very lean. But finaly died again and wouldnt start. until it kinda cooled back down. So once i got it fired again i pulled the plug wires and got spark on all four and the fuel pressure showed 38 base fuel pressure. So while it was runnin on like 2 or three cylinders very rough, i pulled the clip off on #1 and it didnt change at all. So im assuming its injectors or the resistor box. Anyone have any input on something i might have overlooked? I also modified the factory fuel rail to accept the fuel pressure gauge and that has been on there for a while.

Setup is a 94 teg with a bone stock b18b1, t3/t4, tubular manifold, walbro 255, full throttle fpr, DSM 450's, tuned on crome, obd0 injector resistor box. plx-m300 wideband.

Have you checked the distributor at all? That would be my 1st guess.

i pulled each end of the plug wires while the car was running and each end of all four wires was arcing heavily, plus with it running this way, if i was a spark problem, the plugs would be saturated with fuel and when it dies i can pull the plugs and all 4 are bone dry. Plus the wideband is indicating a super lean condition. The DSM's have never been flowed or cleaned, they were just out of one of my old dsm's that i used to have. Im just about sure it an injector.
