My 92 Sentra E 1.6 started missing, badly. Local auto shop
said....needs Injector.
My mechanic said, "Phoooey", let's replace all the electronics
pertaining to ignition.. plugs, condenser, rotor, wires,etc,( except
for distributor too expensive for trial and error diagnosing)
He did, and it still banging on 3 bangers instead of four. Swapped
plug cables...still missing on the same plug!
Mechanic conceded it needed an injector. I disagree, There's no or
little spark from plug #3. What does the injector have to do with
it????
I say it's the distributor. Any thoughts??
Thanks

I have to start with a disclaimer - I'm not familiar with your motor.
However, if it has a traditional distributor with rotor, and if all
the parts you mentioned were replaced, I don't think you have a
distributor problem. All the distributor does is spin the rotor and
send the current to the proper cylinder. If the rotor and cap are new
and the distributor is sending a spark to the other three cyls, it is
highly unlikely that it is not sending it to the fourth.
