EJ 22 running on 3 cylinders.
EJ 22 running on 3 cylinders help.
Hey all more trouble shooting and more to come it seems.
The EJ 22 has an interesting problem. The passenger rear cylinder doesn't seem to be firing. When disconnecting just that lead from the plug the engine doesn't change it's idle but doing so on the other three makes it want to stall.
Have changed the plug and swapped the leads to isolate those two- all good. I would normally think it wasn't getting fuel after this but the plug comes out black and wet and the others are grey and dry.
Taking the lead off and fitting it to a new plug and holding it against the body shows excellent spark so the coil seems to be fine.
Any troubleshooting suggestions?

When you disconnect fuel pump and run engine until it stops you bleed off the pressure, stops spitting fuel everywhere when you undo the rail. Pull a fuel pump fuse , relay or electrical connector. Watch the big rubber seals either stay in manifold or with injector, not the ground, put white sheet under to catch stuff -so you see it (unless it is white thing you drop )
