You'll have to start with a injector buzz test I believe ! That will tell you if you have a failed injector !

hmmmm

With only 86000 miles, I wouldn't think you have a bad injector. Possibly your under valve cover harness is coming loose on one side or the other would be a good starting point.

How slight is the miss? Cold, hot, or all the time? Did you recently have any recall work done? Does your check engine light (CEL aka SES) come on?
