My car started fine today then started to miss thinking bad gas I put in heat and high octane as it is 15f. It just got worse missing only on aceleration not Idle on one cilinder. A mechanic located the one . So I changed that plug which started to burn white indicating a lean fuel condition, another plug was black-rich burn. Spark is good so now I think the injector is bad on one cilinder. Other wires I have found corroded in lamp connectors. So is it possible the plug in harness contacts for the injector are corroded or does this sound like a bad injector. I was going to travel today and tomorrow most mechanics will not look at it. It looks like replacing an injector is not easy it will be 0 tomorrow, Ive never done it and have limited tools. . The one cilinder fires at idle but starves-no fire on aceleration. Plugs 5000m wires 30000, air filter good. motor compression condition very good. One new plug on bad cilinder no difference. Should I get a rental and take it to the shop. Or might it be somthing I can fix, maybe bad contacts on injector harness
