    it's work to do, but run a new wire from the coil pack to the pcm, there could be an open in the circuit, due to a bad terminal or corrosion on the terminal when it's plugged in.
    we've seen the actual terminals not make contact and not fire the injector or coil.

    could the piece on the crankshaft that tells the computer when to send spark have broken a gear off that would keep that cylinder from getting spark at that one point?
    but just that one cylinder isnt getting fire even after swapping a whole other wiring harness. and where harness connects to coil packs have tried 3 different coil packs. so would think that would eliminate any connection issues.

    i don't believe the crank position sensor has gears in it. at least it didn't look like it when i was checking mine.
    when i did my swap, none of my coils were firing, but that turned out to be a computer issue

    yeah have swapped plugs. thats not problem. we eliminated the omputer issue by swapping 3different computers out. used what came with motor , then an extra a guy had and then took one out of buddys truck thatis running and drives everyday and still no spark.
    but i believe the crank position sensor has like little teeth or cutouts on it. i just wondering if those could break some how. cause have replaced i believe everything else or swapped things out and still get nothing out of it.
    its confusing for sure.

    do you notice that the tach needle is slightly jumping up and down, or is it smooth?

    we just had a 408 in here, built by other, reluctor wheel was damaged, was causing two cylinders not to fire, that was a pita!!!!
