just for a quick check, switch the problem cylinder injector with any other cylinder and fire it up with fresh plugs. Pull em and you will see if it the injector is your issue.
what ecu are you running?

how do you test that without have them flow tested? just take the rail out with injectors still in there and get pressure in the system and see if one drips ?

I had the exact problem that is described here and did this as miller suggests. It showed the injector was bad. I just bought all new larger injectors and it went away (obviously)
