by skipping i assume you mean missing? any chance you can run the codes and see what the computer has to say to you. but if it is a missing issure could be a wire, a plug, maybe corrosion in the distributor.

yeah I just replaced the wires and no go, I think an injector might not be firing I pulled the plugs and compared to the rest 5 looked new still so I am assuming thats the injector Im going to pull it and replace it tommrow.

did you get your codes first? or just test that spark plug lead to #5 first with a ohm meter? maybe a faulty wire.
