Cylinder 1 is not working. I tested it with a test light and the signal light only blinks at start up. Once the engine is running the line just shuts off.

Hello,

It sounds like a possible intentional injector shut down by the engine management system.
This is done when the system detects a misfire on that cylinder and shuts down the injector to prevent over fueling and possible resulting catalytic converter damage.

A good video regarding injector shut down:

I would suggest to next carry out a CAN-scan using a suitable diagnostic tool

Have you checked the ignition system, coils and spark plugs?
