Default 95 SL2 idling rough #2 cyl missing but firing

I have a sohc engine and the car is idling rough and sounds like a miss at
the tailpipe and running rich. All the plugs are firing. When pulling the
plug wires off one at a time you see a noticeable difference except at the
number 2 cylinder you don't and there is a fast ticking sound coming from
the injector at that cylinder and not at the other injectors. The engine
does smooth out at higher rpm's can anyone help? Thanks and a Happy
Holiday to all!!

My guess is the injector is leaking or stuck open. Happened on my 95 SW2,
same symptoms. I'd be careful raw gas getting to the cat can cause it to
overheat and start a fire.

Either an injector's stuck or the plug's not firing. Check for spark.
If there's none, try swapping the coils on the ig module and seeing if
the problem moved. If it did'nt move - bad module. If it did - bad
coil.
