what happens if you swap out injectors between adjacent cylinders? Buying all new fuel injectors is a waste of money as they rarely fail -and you can either replace the bad one or find an injector cleaning service to test and clean. What did the plug on #1 look like? How does the wiring harness to the coils look (ie connectors to the coils ok?)

What is the compression?

As others have mentioned injectors rarely fail - so I would swap 1 and 4 coil and plugs with 2 and 3 coil and plugs - and see what happens, after making sure there is compression on all cylinders.

Does the car idle smoothly? Does it use/lose coolant?
