Not too familiar with the cross fire injection engines, but obviously, one of the injectors is extremely clogged or just dead.

Try taking it out and cleaning it with some carb cleaner and see if that clears it out. Also, you could try running a can of Seafoam through the gas tank, and see if that helps any. If that doesnt work, then you are going to have to get a new injector. I'm not sure if they are the same as the EFI ones, but if not, you are going to have to find a retailer online that sells them, or take a trip to the scrap yard.

I agree with GuitarJunk...if this doesnt help .I know the cross-fire Vettes had similar problems...I want to add some more if it doesnt.Make sure your fuel pressure is good..and if those check out.Your either into wiring,computer(injector driver bad) or a bad PROM.Good Luck..

I HIGHLY doubt it is your computer or prom. I have never heard of them taking a dump and causing one injector to not work. There is really no way to "check" them as to my knowledge. Start small, don't worry about your computer for now.

I'm unfamiliar with cross fire injectors but....

to check wiring, connectors, computer, or whatever else is involved.
You could swap the working and non-working injector.

If the problem follows the bad injector to its new home, then the injector is bad.
