It's in cylinders 1 and 3. I'll have to try that right now actually...

did you ever see if fuel was puddling? video is pretty poor cant really hear the noise, or my speakers suck. maybe someone tried an in rail fuel cleaning on it or somethin, really bad for nissan injectors. did you warranty the wires?

no.... stupid autozone didn't put me in the system when I bought them and my receipt magically got lost when it was in the box with the old wires.... Pretty pissed about how they are handling it since they are the only once that freaking sell duralast parts and the wires have lifetime warranty....

also I checked the fuel injectors with the screw driver trick and heard each of them clicking

definately get new wires, pref from the dealer if you can, duralast are shit, my friend went thru 4 sets on his neon and they were all arching under heavy load

I did a ohm resistance test on them and they all read in the 5's... which is good, right?

well i rarely evey go by that so i cant remember the specs but they are supposed to have a certain resistance per inch or something like that. but an ohms test really doesnt tell you anything unless they are broken. a tiny pinhole in a plug wire will not effect an ohms result but the spark is gonna go to the path of least resistance so instead of jumping the plug gap which takes alot of voltage on the compression stroke it jumps thru the hole to whatever is closest to it really. if you said you saw them arching they are for sure bad.

Replaced the wires with some NGK wires but the problem still is present, Fixed a exhaust leak and still have it

Sprayed all the vacuum hoses with carb cleaner with no idle change and checked all of them (including under the intake manifold) with them all being in good condition with no cracks.

I did a compression test on it with a 420 amp battery charger and 170-175 on all 4 cylinders.

my first guess was its not running on all cylinders.. but if you check that and it is well i would have to say some sort of exhaust leak or maybe a clogged cat or something.. definitely doesn't sound right..
