1987 4.0 no fire on second cyl

from the front. Picked up a cheap Cherokee, only running on 5. Swapped plugs, wires, injectors, then found a manual, injectors show 16 ohms, and the wiring pass the test light test. Plug comes out looking shiney black, but not fuel soaked, almost like a coating. Didn't think to look in the injector hole when it was out, but wouldn't think it could clog??

Not every story has explosions and car chases. That's why they have nudity and espionage.
