I'm curious what test he did to nail it down to a #5 injector? I'd hate to replace my spider again only to find out it was something else. Do you know what codes you have?

He's a gm mechanic ad has a crazy scan tool and a gauge that conects to the fuel system and goes through all the injectors and number 5 was not doing anything. And I have a missfire cylinder #5 code

Have you upgraded the spider to the MPFI system? As I recall the 98 has only 1 injector with 6 poppets. check for spark and how the plug looks first. It's easier to just check and costs nothing
