Dead??? Have you done compression check? What all have you tried. Could be many things. Let me know what you have tried and I can give you some ideas.

have you verified the injector is firing correctly? like move it to a different bank and see if the problem follows?

The signs that i am seeing of it not fireing is the new chrome header i put on is not turning blue or gold like the rest are and i can hear it and feel is missing in the exhaust. so how am i supposed to know if the injector isn't firing on a different bank?

Pull the plug wire off, does the car still run the same or does it idle rougher? Old fashion way of finding out. Using the Chrome Color changing isn't the most accurate way of telling. Mine still look new and have 1K miles on them.
