That is one REALLY important spark plug wire, the whole engine couldnt start until it wanted it to! lol... Thats kinda f-ed, I never would have looked at a plug wire for an injector pulse issue.

They said it took them a long time to find it as they traced litterally every wire under the hood, and even they didn't think it would be a spark plug wire to cause the issue.
There isn't such a fail safe.... that would eliminate the possibility of having a cylinder misfire as a symptom.... or you wouldn't be able to do a spark test with an offline spark tester... and I have worked my share of misfiring/no spark in a single cylinder problems in SN95's. If you paid for that repair, you literally paid for a " ... it's fixed!" type of service.
