If the noid light is flashing all the time when connected to the injector then the control pulse should be there, it's if it flashes, then goes out then flashes again that would make you worry, that would mean a driver issue in the PCM. But constant flashing should mean it's likely a bad injector. A simple way to test is a injector balance test. For that you need a scan tool that can trigger the fuel pump or a jumper for the pump relay so you can run the pump. Then a fuel pressure gauge attached to the fuel supply rail, and an injector pulse tool. What you do is to connect it all up. Now you actuate the fuel pump to get full line pressure say 50 psi. Now you use the pulse tool to activate an injector. Say No. 1, and watch the pressure drop as the tool pulses. You then repeat that for each injector. You get done and find that 3 injectors start at 50 psi and drop to 35 psi but the last one only drops to 44 psi, that injector is faulty and could be causing a lean condition and the misfire. OR it might drop to 20 psi and the resulting rich condition causes the misfire.
