Bad injector?

[1-3-2-4]

I have a '05 Legacy GT and I started getting a misfire on cylinder 2, anyways after checking I pulled the injector connector for #2 and it had no effect at all on the idle.. the injector is no good? I wont be able to replace the injector until tomorrow morning.

 

I will say when I did replace the plugs it was slightly wet.

Hi,

You can check the injectors resistance - should be 10-12 Ohms, I believe, but I'd compare to another 1 or 2 as I'm going off what earlier year side-feed injectors are. 

But does sound 'dead'.

 

BTW, the side-feed yellows in your '05 are the same as  '04-'06 STI, Forester XT, Baja turbo, & Outback XT use.

Well you narowed the problem down to one cylinder so its going to be either an injector, plug, or wire.

I would check the plug and wire just in case, but it does sound like the injector is at fault

These idiots at the post office yesterday said I was not home now this morning they are like it's out with the driver.. how they can get by with customer service is beyond me...

Before swapping in a new injector, I'd try swapping the injector with a different cylinder (i.e. disconnect, and place over a different cyl, then reconnect with that cyl.'s harness) reset the codes, then see if your misfire code (P0302) follows the injector into it's new cylinder (like a P0301) or stays stays as a (P0302 cyl. #2 misfire). A "wet" plug means it's getting gas but weak spark, or too much gas.

Changed the injector but it turned out to be a bad coil
