    Yes it ended up being 1 bad injector, Cummins dealer couldn’t figure it out with the scan tool, tried changing all the pass through conectors, cleaning up all the Ecm plugs etc no changes so I bought one new injector and I leapfrogged it hole to hole until finally on #4 the problem went away. I was local hauling at the time so I was able to do it in myslef in my shop every night after work. Took 4 days but got it fixed lol

    Thanks for prompt response!
    In my case there is no miss when engine is cold, after running not even a minute, it starts missing, miss was on #4, put 2 new injectors on #3 and #4 and miss moved to #3. Just when installing #3 it didnt feel so tide as on #4. I wonder could injector cap be bad on #3.
    Other than leaking diesel in to antifreeze (dont have this problem), what are other signs of bad injector cups?
    Can bad injector cup cause low fuel pressure or injector misfire in Cummins N14 Celect Plus?

    I have heard this misfire issue can be caused by a hot ecm. Fuel goes through the back of ecm. But I may be thinking of isx ecm. I am thinking out loud.

    Hello am having a similar problem
    My n14+ starts to miss intermittently after about 30min- 1hr of driving and sooner if am pulling something. This miss is on the 4th cylinder. When the truck starts up after overnight every thing is working great all cylinders make a difference in sound when plugged out. Only after running the motor for so long number 4 doesn’t makes a difference.

    New ECM did the trick for me

    Swap injectors with #3 and see if the problem follows the injector or stays in #4. Likely just a failing injector.
