Default Cold Cylinder! Help!

I have had one cylinder running about 60-90 degres f less than the others. I am using a temp gun right after the header flange. Here is what I have done so far: replaced fuel pump, replaced spark plug( was white tipped so running lean), swaped injectors(cold cyl. did not follow injector), and checked for any leaks. The other spark plugs look fine and I am not getting any codes thrown. This doesnt make sense... any suggestions?? Car also goes "flat" early in the drive around 2800 RPM...

If that spark plug was white (lean) that should have been a hotter cylinder than the rest. Have you done a compresion check or a leak down test??

Id go ahead and try swapping the plug wires first before the coil packs. Takes seconds and you never know. Have you tried a new plug in that hole?

i know this probably sounds stupid but when my o2s went lazy my front cylinder on passenger side was 40 + cooler than the rest.new 02s cured the problem and i still don't know why it was only one cylinder.

interesting...I recently replaced my drivers side o2 to cure a SES light but maybe the other side is bad too, I will try swaping the new o2 over and see what she does. And yes I did try swaping plug wires and replaced the bad spark plug.
