Check ALL injectors with a multimeter.
They should read ~16ohms if I remember, but basically find the odd man out and replace it (if you have a spare) or just relace them.

when there all plugged in it stumbles a little when i disconect any of the injectors it smoothes out figured disconecting one gives it a lean so it causes the computer to richin it up funny with one of them disconected it runs the smoothest idles fine with any of the injectors disconected

a weak spark will cause you not to be able to rev over a certain rpm.
like when your running on just a battery you notice the car lights get dimmer, and it runs ****tier, and your revving gets worse n worse.
