hey everyone, so its a b16a2, threw a cel the other day. i brought the car to advance auto and they told me it was a misfire in the number 1 cylinder. i replaced the cap, rotor, wires, and plugs and i still get the flashing light. it seems as though it only comes on while just cruising, if im on the gas or off it, it doesnt come on. i did a compression test and got 180-200 psi all the way across. it has a comptech header, tenzo cold air. 86k miles. any suggestions?

Could be really dirty injectors. Burn any oil at all?

nothing out of the ordinary, got good oil pressure as well. do you think some fuel system cleaner might fix it or should i consider swapping out the injectors?

I've used fuel injector cleaner before and it didn't really help at all with my misfire. If you ever get the time, take them out (be very careful taking them out) and look at them to see if they're gunky. See if you can just get them sonic cleaned by a shop. That's what I'm doing.
