The OP lives close to me, in fact he's coming to my house later to borrow my injector socket so he can pull it out...we'll get to the bottom of it.

He'll be in capable hands.

I asked twice if it got rough after two minutes time, thinking along the same lines. Gave up asking after the 2nd time.

Saga continues,
Pulled injectors and had them rebuilt. No 1 Cyl was a squirter at low volume. 4 out of 6 were marginal.
This did not fix problem.
Car still runs the same. NO. 1 Cyl missing. runs better when cold, realy bad when hot.

New observations.

Seeing some blue smoke from the exhaust.
Seems the cranksae vent is passing a lot of oil. There was a oil under the access cover to the injectors. Enough to make a small puddle on No. 4 injector.

I am now going to do a leak down test. I have to figure out the apparatus and get necessary stuff.
NHDOc thinks a head gasket. I certainly hope so.
