lost #2 cylinder - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

So I let my car run a little low on gas, not enough for the light to come on though. I make it halfway to work and the car loses all power and sounds like a Subaru. After some help from a friend we found out the 2nd cyl wasn't firing. He pulled the wires one by one and he pulled the plug wire on the second cyl and nothing happened to the idle.

I replaced the plugs and wires, and still no change. I've been doing some research and have found it could be an injector or a crank shaft position sensor.

Anyone have some help on this? This is on a 240sx, I'm going out right now to check the Ohms on the injector.

Thanks for your help.

Edit: I checked the readings, and I'm not sure if I did it right, but all the injectors but the second cyl. were off what my voltage meter could show. Injector #2 didn't even bounce the needle. So would it be fair to say that's my problem?

yeah sounds like your injector is junk. just try swaping it to another spot and see if the problem follows the injector. if it does you can know for sure its the injector. if it the problem stays on that cylinder check for spark and make sure your getting power to that injector.
