Well, first you have to find out if it is still the first cylinder. If it is still the first cylinder then I’d imagine that the wiring job for the injector harness wasn’t done very well. Check it out again. If you find nothing there, before you actually spend any more money on anything check the compression. If the compression is good and the wiring for the injector is good consider the possibility that the initial wiring problem may have damaged the injector. You can swap the #1 with another injector and see if the miss moves with the injector. This obviously involves pulling the codes as you go. ---
