Default How to check for fuel in a cyl?

um ok.
i was getting some gas about an hour ago and well the car was idling horrible
so i figured it was an unplugged spark plug wire or a fouled plug
changed plug, checked wires. all cyl are getting spark

cyl 1, 2, and 3 **** the idle up when i remove the spark plug wire. there is an audible spark tho.
cyl #4 does not change the idle. the idle sounds off. it shakes the car a little. there is an audible spark and visible spark when the wire is removed.

that narrows it down to fuel
how do i check to see if a specific cylinder is getting fuel? please help asap.

looks like my injector is toast
no resistance with an ohms test between the terminals.

pull your plugs right after cranking it. if you dont smell fuel, its probably gone. check to see if your injector plug is in all the way.

i just checked the resistance on all the injectors
they all have a resistance
the #4 cyl dosent
and the harness has 12 volts all the way across.
looks like we have a winner
a toasted injector.
