Remove the #2 spark plug and look at it. If it is dry, most likely the fuel injector is clogged or otherwise not working (could be bad wiring to injector, open injector coil). If it is wet, the plug isn't firing. Check the compression of the cylinder while you're at it, compare the pressure to other good cylinders for proper range. It is more apparent that it misses while in gear because there is more load on the engine than when in P or N. It's most likely missing all the time, though.

What is the name of the curve on the graduated cylinder?

The curve on a graduated cylinder is called a meniscus. It occurs due to surface tension between the liquid and the container, causing the liquid to curve at the edges. When measuring volume in a graduated cylinder, the bottom of the meniscus should be used for accurate readings.

Can you disable a couple of fuel injectors to get better mileage on your 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3L?

short answer is no. long answer is no because it is controlled by the computer and anything you do to mechanically disable the injectors will not be recognized by the computer. The heads are not designed for this either, meaning that you will be wasting power trying to turn the disabled cylinders because there is you will still be drawing air into the cylinder and compressing it. your engine will also run very poorly, probably causing you to use more gas.


Why are the ranges in digital instruments overlapped?

If there were no overlapping, when measuring something close to the limit of one range or an unstable signal, the instrument woud be "jumping" between this and the higher (or lower) range, making the readings more difficult and maybe causing you a headache.
