Hello, I have the truck listed above with a 4.3 liter Vortec. I've just finished changing the cylinder heads and now I have a misfire in cylinder 1. checked plug and wire, I'm getting plenty of spark. Can't find any value leaks. I'm told that it may be one of the spider injectors but not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks

Good afternoon,

I would start by checking the compression. You need 140-160 on that cylinder.

Yes, it could be the spider. It is a common issue. Are there any codes set?

I attached the procedure for you for replacing the spider assembly.
