I have a 08 14 here doing sorta the same thing but it's not firing at all #2.... i do know it's getting fuel and spark, Did a compression check lastnight and it is a little over 200psi with the rest of the cylinders at 200-210psi. I swapped the plug,coil and injector out with another cylinder and that did not help at all, the same cylinder is still not fireing. I don't get it??? battery voltage is fine, the plug is wet when i pull it and if i put a plug in the coil, plug it in and ground it, it looks as if it's getting plenty of spark, the only thing i can think of is for some reason it's getting too much fuel to theat cylinder and the plug is getting drowned out? any clues? I also unplugged the pc3 and it still did the same thing

Wow that's a nightmmare! Did you check to see if any error codes are present?
Could be time for spark plugs , I've seen plugs that looked good and seem to have spark before but didn't fire the cylinder ,but new plugs fixed the problem. I think the spark was weak enough that the compression actually blew out the spark.

Good Luck Thutch26, my 14 is running like a champ again. Changed the oil, have taken many long rides with no issues. Like I said, I had a coil problem, and I exaggerated on the 3 pints of fuel in the cylinder but it was a lot. All is well now.
