The fuel supply line to the rail has a quick disconnect, sometimes they're tricky, most of the time it comes right off as designed. Should be easy.

Sorry but I will not be able to reply for a while after this... will likely lose power for about a week with gustav. damn weather!

I hope you are doing well with gustav hitting your area. I again appreciate all your help on this issue

Ok, so here is what is new. Before swapping fuel injectors, I put a bottle of Lucas Fuel Injector cleaner. It runs great with a half bottle of the stuff. As soon as its done with the cleaner in the tank, the misfire comes back. But I can put half a bottle into the gas tank (about half full tank of gas ) and it will run and idle great with no rough idle at all, even at a traffic light! So what gives? A mechanic I know told me he thinks its a bad O2 sensor based off what I told him, he hasn't actually seen or test driven the vehicle. Any ideas on why the fuel injector cleaner clears up the misfire?
