Swap the plugs.

See if the problem moves to the rear cylinder.

I've had multiple sets of plugs in both cylinders...same results. I never checked the front injector as codes were showing rear injector. I just hope it's not the ECM!

If front plug is fouling then it's getting fuel . plug can be firing when tested but be too weak to fire under compression. I would think maybe coil or plug wire.

I just pulled the front plug and it is no longer getting fouled after I changed it the last time. I poured some gas directly into the cylinder and it seemed to run good for a few seconds when I started her up.

The injectors resistance was fine and so is the signal going to it. Can it be still clogged? I put a half a can of Seafoam in and ran it for 10-15 minutes and nothing changed.

Is there anything else that would stop fuel from getting to it if the rear runs great?

Yes an injector can plug. If the tank was empty when stored it may have rusted inside. Pull the injectors and look in the inlet side. Might be plugged up. Swap injectors and see if the problem switches cylinders.

Ding, ding, ding.....we have a winner Johnny!

Clogged injector. Big piece of wading almost the size of a BB.

I switched injectors from front to back just in case, but it was pretty damn obvious that I found the cause.

I left the Fi2000 off and she runs like a beast!!!
