You sure you didn’t get water near your distributor? Because that’ll do the trick.

How did you "clean" the dirty parts?

Sounds like you broke the rail.
Clamp the rubber return pipe from the fuel rail and check if it revs up fine.

Injectors and fuel parts should never be "manually cleaned.

Always use non abrasive methods like an ultrasonic bath.

Besides the known cracking fuel rail issue on 8v motors, generally the fuel system should NEVER need service of any kind. It either works or it doesn't.

If you have come to the latter part, new or known good parts are the way to go.

Did you connect the fuel lines in the same order where you took them off? Feed and return lines not swapped around?

Thanks guys.... Now I got other injectors new plugs new leads car revs up clean but what I notice is only when I drive it hard then the miss comes back an its only on number 3 injector. Then the car is missing all over agen took all the injector plugs of one by one when it idling an only number 3 makes no difference what can possibly be this problem an why does it happen continuously only number 3 injector...... An why does the miss only comes after I drove the car hard is it maybe that there's an fuel problem of sticky valve.. Ive tried pressing the return pipe it makes an slight difference not much still misses... I'm going to plug it in on diagnostic test on Monday but some advice will be appreciated thanks guys

Possible sticky valve of bad injector. Swap injector to another cylinder and then test again.

Get a pressure gauge on the fuel line and check the fuel pressure.

Get a replacement fuel pressure regulator and sort it one time and forget about it.
