Cylinder 4 misfiring...
I had issues with a misfire, rough and very rich.
Had the truck scanned with WDS unit and went out for a run with the unit in the cab with the Technician.
Down on #4
After plug and coil swap turned out to be a faulty injector in #4
Swapped it out with #1 and the problem went to #1
Fuel graphs were all over the place on that bank.
New injector from JDM sent by DHL
Fitted today - running like a dream.
Bring on the Dyno and Jim's awesome tune next....

They told me it could be the plug, but I put brand new bosch platinum's in @ 75,000 miles so that's hard to believe. Another possibility they said was the fuel injector. Any ideas on what it could be? I'm hoping it's nothing too expensive but would like to see if anyone else has had the same problem or know what's going on before I dive in to it. Thanks!
