Double check the wire connection at the distributor for that plug. They sometimes push up and lose contact.

Sounds like something to do with your injector. The computer might be sensing a lack of fuel to cylinder 5 giving you a code. But when you get on it, it may be enough pressure or gas going through to get rid of the code. If the wires plugs rotor cap and coil are all good, it may be your injector.
