Default 85 injector question HELP

#5 cyl wet with gas. Compresion is good. Complete tune w/coil. Could this be an injector problem. I tried switching wires and plugs, with same result, # 5 wet. My buddy said to unplug the injector and if the new plug is still wet the injector is bad. Is this correct. Is there another way to test. What is a good injector for replacement. Anyone heard of Viper

Thank you for your input,

Nick

I'd say your buddy has a good idea. If the injector is open all the time that will prove it. New Bosche III injectors are not expensive. If you still have the originals, its time. Talk to Jon at FIC, he'll set you up.
