I’d check for a leaking by having the fuel pressure checked. Most leaks are not visible by looking at the injector.

I was going to say, if the fuel pressure bleeds off much (even faster?) only at that time in question, then it sounds like a possible leaking injector, but if the fuel pressure doesn’t bleed off any faster at that time then any other time, then move on to something else…
Or swap injector with a different cylinder to see if the misfire code follows…
Yes. Since BG44K historically has cleared the problem, though temporarily, I’m inclined to think it’s a faulty injector rather than a leaky one. Any thoughts on replacing Injector No. 2 by removing the distributor? No. 2 on my 1996 is right behind the distributor. I think I could get to it with an angled screwdriver. Getting enough torque on screws might be a problem.
Too dang hard to swap injectors in those vehicles! I feel sure it’s a problem with No. 2 injector. 1,3,and 5 are easier to access.
Using a stethoscope or a long screwdriver, listen to that injector. Now listen to the injector next to it.
If #2 injector doesn’t sound like the other injector, it could indicate a problem with that injector.

You mean “does not”? The all sound the same – click-click-click.
Use a borescope and inspect combustion chamber
So informative comment section. Thanks to tester too.
