Are you sure your spark plug wires are in the correct order on your distributor cap? Where are you located?

im located in stafford.
compression is about 150 warm on that cylinder and still doesnt smoke. i know thats minimum compresson level but its good for now. it is for sure only ever done it on cylinder 2 and ive swapped out the injector with two other. same problem. ive been told it is the distributor by a few different people. any ideas?

the only thing done to this motor is a header and exhaust and intake filter. but like i said, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, injector on that cylinder, and now the ECU have all been changed. nothing better. it only drops that cylinder when it gets up to normal operating temps. im out of answers

No offense, but it is a KA24DE ecu and not a KA24E ECU, correct?

I had this problem before and it ended up being a dead injector. Sad bc I'm NOW having this problem again. Ran into some water sucked some in and have a dead cyl. Didnt seize however..

Anyways. back to your problem.

Check.... compression and I think you need to look into your ignition a bit deeper.
