hi everyone, new member and guess what? i have a problem i was hoping someone can help me with (go fugure, new member with a problem) :)

ok, here we go.
1998 quest.

#5 is not hitting. (the motor is just missing)
I have fire.
I have fuel.
I have replaced the injector with a new one and then i even swaped it with number 2 just for gp.
I have replaced the plug.
I have replaced the plug wire.
I have replaced the dist-cap.
I have replaced the module.
The other 5 cyls are hitting just fine.
Only number 5 is not firing.

Now i am scraching my head.

I ran a compresson check, 140psi.
I check the vacuum. 18" steady.
I checked for vacuum leaks and there are none.

I checked the egr by pulling up on the valve and the motor does not change any!!

Hummm, I put a thin metal plate between the egr and the intake thinking it was leaking even though i had 18" of vacuum. No change.
I took out the plate.

I check the injector for a signal using a led light that a frend had just for checking for a siganl on injectors and i am getting a signal.

the only code was for number 5, i think it was p0305 and of course the knock sensor since the van was missing.

There are no other codes.

Now what?
ecm?

97 Villager misfire cylinder 5 .

I know this is an OLD post , but i recently was given a Villager with the exact same problem.

I have done pretty much the exact same steps as the original poster with no luck in fixing anything.

I was wondering if anyone else has found a cause/fix to this problem....

any info will be a great help.
thanks.
