    Got a 1999 N14 red top in a century class. 888 k miles. Just recently when I crank it over after several days (3+ )of sitting I can hear a dead cylinder. No smoke , tick , or any noise after it starts and no skip as well. If I shut it right off and restart no dead hole. if it sits for 2 days no dead hole. Plenty of power, no smoke, fuel mileage where it needs to be...any ideas?
    Thanks in advance for your time

    Sounds like an injector. My N14 would do the same thing. It made it a PITA to figure out which one.

    Fire it up and let it run with the dead hole for a bit. Take a temp. gun and shoot the exhaust manifold at each cylinder. Cold spot should be the dead hole.
