Punctuation is also appreciated.

I would love to try and help you out, but I can't understand the problem or the question because it's just a long string of words with no punctuation to help sort things out.

When engine is cold, unplug the coil's spark wire, the one going to distributor cap.
Try to start engine, it won't of course, crank it for 20-30 seconds.
Now pull out 1 spark plug at a time, each should be wet with fuel.
If you find a dry spark plug then that fuel injector could be bad.

Test it with OHM Meter, should be about 14ohms, check it's wires as well, red wire should have 12volts when key is on.
