Default I keep knocking out #7 plug

My car keeps knocking out the #7 spark plug. It will idle for few minutes and knock it out every time. I have switched the coil pack and wire for the number one cylinder and the problem stayed on #7. All the other plugs look great. My next step is to swap the injector for one from #1 and see if it is the problem. Anyone have any other ideas if this doesn't work ?

is it fouling, melting or literally knocking it out of the threads?

Sounds like the #7 piston/rings have an issue. I bet a compression check is gonna show you something you're not gonna like.

Did you check the harness to that coil pack?

Swap the injectors around and see what happens, it may be sticking open.

must be the injector... probably leaking when the things' supposed to be closed.

That's an easy fix, alot better then having to rip everything down that's for sure!

Yeah I was sick to think I would have to tear the engine down before I got to spray the **** out of it.
