car running on 3 cylinders

[scirocco-al@insight.rr.com (Scirocco-al)]

I agree here.  Check your spark, if you are getting it then most likely you
have a bad fuel injector.  You cannot possibly have a bad coil it the other
three cylinders are firing.  Also, the car should run badly with a
disconnected coolant temp sensor as it will go into a default mode.  I say
pull the #4 injector, stick it in a glass and see if it's working correctly.
