Default I think it a fuel injector

My wife and I went shopping the other day and while I was packing my 1993 Nissan Altima I gave my wife the keys and told her start it up (it was 90 out) after she turned in on it started idling really rocky - its not ignition because of the all the plugs and wire are reading correctly and I'm getting spark - @3 cylinder does not change when I pull the wire out this is why I think everything points to fuel injector. So before I pay put out $100 I would like an opinion. Thanks.

I the car is very to close to my wife because its her deceased sisters so I really want to get it running - it is a really nice little car.

Thanks

Try to buy some fuel injector cleaner first, and if it stops then they were just a bit dirty. Same thing happend to me with an 02 altima. Good luck!

Default It was the fuel injector

Not only was it bad I checked the coil and it was open - with a digital multi meter I checked the coil and I should have got 10 to 15 OHMS and I did not get any reading so that meant the coil was open - was not too bad to replace seeing this was my first time - I was told never to put fuel injector cleaner in my car because it was bad now I'm second guessing. Thanks for answering.
