my car was struggling to start and on 3 cylindars. i checked the plug wires on both ends and theyre connected. i think it might be my injector wires. does anyone have any ideas? need more info?

any engine needs these things to start:
Good spark
Good fuel delivery
Good compression
timing to be on
if you have these you will get it to run!
With it running pull each spark plug wire untill the engine runs worse.
check spark by removing the spark plug and install it in the boot of the spark plug wire. run the engine and hold the bottom part of the sark plug against any part of the valve cover or nut/bolt (hold it by the rubber end of the wire). you should be able to see the spark. then I would do a compression check. then check timing of the cams/crank. if these
all check out then chase the fuel system delivery ie:injector,ecu or pump.
Good luck, keep us informed.
