unknown electrical problem?? help!!
Hi... Wondering if anybody has had this problem before on a 2003 civic dx.
-Check engine flashes (misfire on cylinder 3 or 4 ( one or the other never both at the same time...)
- the problem seems to shift between cylinders 3 and 4. But cant seem to find why. The car is always running on 3 cylinders. Either 1,2 and 3 or on 1,2 and 4.
-All plugs coil packs and injectors are in working order... How ever the injector does not open (spray) on the unresponsive cylinder.
- the misfire comes from the injector that wont open.
- the computer seems to be sending a continuos signal instead of a pulse.
-Ive change the computer and the problem is still there.
-Everything else checks out... Iam out of ideas and am about to send the car to the scrapyard! Help please!

Unlikely.
Check the valve clearance,also look for a blown HG, It is common on this vehicle.
As for the injector,the misfire strategy for the PCM is to shut down the injector when a Type A misfire is detected. Typical OBD2 behavior
It is normal for the injector to be off in this case.
