it may be many. there may not be a problem with the PCM. it could be a ignition module problem. at this point i recommend taking it to your local dealer instead of throwing parts at it. besides computers have to be programmed by a dealer. they are not plug and play anymore.|||Aparently the wire that goes to the fuel injector had gone buggy. It was spliced with another injector wire and now runs beautiful again. thanks everyone for all your help.

|||It could be a simple vacuum leak that is causing a lean condition in cylinder #1.
It%26#039;s common, and easy to fix.
Look around for a disconnected or cracked vacuum line/hose on the intake manifold, and listen for a sucking noise at idle.|||i own a shop and its possible that you have a bad control module on it or a coil pack acting up on it,they will fire sometimes and sometimes not,if none of this helps it could actually be the main ecm on it causing this to happen i have seen it a few times but double check everything before you spend any more money on it,buying stuff you don%26#039;t need can get really expensive after a while ,good luck with it i hope this helps.|||look for engine codes first.
that engine is a distributor less.
change the power coil block.|||do you have a vacum port on the no.1 cylinder|||How loud is the ticking? Could be in the head, like a valve not opening (a rocker broke or spring broke, bad gas can make valves stick and then something has to give)|||The ticking could be the spark from number 1 wire going where it shouldn%26#039;t go. It could be shorting to the head when it%26#039;s plugged in, but going through the plug when you have it out. If the compression check was good, it%26#039;s probably not a valve problem.
