Well i had a similiar prob on my saff cos last week it stated to miss bad, i had a spark on all 4 plugs, changed crank sensor still missed! I thought it was injector probs cause if i pulled of the connector on injectors 1&3 it made no difference to engine note, they were clicking thou so were working. A few days later i found it was the dizzy cap and rotar arm somehow putting a spark on plugs 1&3 at same time! Maybe it's all your prob is, hope it helps.

just finding my feet
paul if its gettting spark and the injectors are working then it should run
if it aint then theres a issue,,, could be anything too even a air leak will make the car missfire or the cam timing being out ect ect ect

2 heads are better than one lol

cant be injecters if the prob remains when you swapped them over
could have the wroung signal from the ecu going to that cylinder
no way you could of mixed them up by any chance is thier dude

Fuel rail blocked over 2 and 3?
Try looking in at the engine in the dark to see if you have sparks flashing from 2 and 3 to each other or earth.
Air leak on the inlet around 2 and 3 ?

air leak on the inlet is very poss, i did mention this to a few people as i re-used the inlet to head gasket just to get it started and it had a lil nip in it (was replacing after but wanted to check engine run, due to getting bent valve before with disaster) but werent working at the time so couldnt afford to replace but wanted to know it ran. how likely could it be?
