Checking injectors I think I might have a bad injector on my passenger side and was wondering if there is any way of checking for sure with EFILive?

Re: Checking injectors If you have the Pro version with the right hardware, you can use the control panel to do an injector balance test.
Set your IAC to around 1200. Now, one at a time, disable each injector for about 10 secs with about 20 secs of recovery time before doing the next one.
Look at your logged data and average the RPM drop for each cyl. If you get one that isn't dropping (or just dropping a little) you've found a cyl that is not contributing power. From that point, determine if it's injector, ignition or mechanical.
