unplug the #7 injector and see if it runs the same. if it runs crappyier its probably not the source.
you need to give more information on your problem.

can injectors brand new come like that can the pintle all the sudden just free up like get lubrication or something... when i unplug any injector at idle nothing changes, the supposed dead injector pulled 15.2 ohms resistance he used a injector balance tester and showed me it tests each injector indvidually it didnt fire but can they all the sudden start working

If you have headers just spray water on the header with the suspected dead cylinder. It should not burn off very rapidly as the ones with the live cylinder will.
This will not work with cast iron exhaust manifolds. Allen
