Re: troublshooting an intermitten dead cylinder

Sounds like a bad fuel injector. You may be getting the correct voltage at each injector, but you have to check the resistance of each injector. My 90 Maxima injectors had two at 13 ohms. But the other four registered resistance of 58, 77 and one could not even give a constant reading. I replaced all offending fuel injectors and she runs perfect. Shop manual calls for resistance of 13 ohms.

Just looking for advise to make sure I am on the right track. I have 91 sentra e 1.6 with 225,000 miles. Great car but everynow and then, I loose a cylinder. For the longest I was thinking I was having distributer troubles or a bad plug wire, but tonight the dead cylinder came up again. I pulled the from the offending cylinder and tested grounded against the engine, got a really strong spark. That to me rules out the distributer, plugwire, and plug. Next, I took a voltometer to the fuel injection socket and got a 13.86v good current. I then tried touching a screwdriver to the top of the injector and did hear the clicking but it did sound different that the first and fourth cylinder yet louder than the second (odd, the second is firing right now) .I am thinking with the extremely high milage that the injectors are really clogged up and intermittently stop working. Am I on the right track?
