Hi Jason. My Heavy Rescue we run came from Joplin Missouri. Welcome to the site!

[JT'S89LXI]

bought the car for 600. towed it from springfield to joplin. put a new battery in it and it fired right up. long story short. it was leaking coolant, and oil really bad. the coolant pipe that goes into the water pipe was corroded bad. so i decided to do a full gasket reseal and tune up. go the head reworked with new valves. car ran fine for maybe a week. would have problems starting. and misfiring. cylinder 4 is dead misfire right now. has spark and fuel, compression is great. found coolant sensor wires broken at the connector. replaced connectors and sensors. went to the salvage yard for the connectors. the car is at a honda shop, not a dealership. they can't figure it out. if you take cylinder 4 plug out its soaked in fuel. INJECTORS ARE NEW! dry the plug off put it back in, car runs good for maybe a minute then starts the dead misfire again. the honda guy put the new coolant sensors in with the connectors and the car ran good for a minute then back to misfiring. he said if you push the diapham in the egr up manually while running it should stall the engine. it doesn't, it actually speeds up......im bumbed and fustrated. any suggestions would be awesome! i have used the search so....ya

Try another injector on cylinder 4. better yet, swap cyl 3 and 4 injectors out and see if the misfire moves to cyl 3. I'm willing to bet you have an issue with your injector somewhat along the lines of dirt/nastyness causing it to stick open longer than it should or stuck open even better. Sounds somewhat like your cylinder itself is flooding.

If you have to buy an injector, i think the company is called Airtex or somewhat along those lines. Around $25/ea. You'll have to get it online for those prices. O'Reillys stocks them for $80/ea with their steep price markups and all

thats what i was pondering on! thanks ill try that and get back with a solution or not.

[JT'S89LXI]

update! it was a bad injector. checked with that airtex site and they didn't list an injector. just fuel pumps. i ordered one through oreillys. i get a discount there anyways, work at a chevy dealership lol. thanks for the help firefighterwhite89!
