Worried that I blew my head gasket 700

Moustacio,

If you think that the problem may be your #2 injector not getting a pulse, you can rent a test light tool from O'Reilly Auto Parts, if you have one in your area. Its called a "noid" light, although the people at the counter may not have a clue what you are talking about if you call it that. Just refer to it as a fuel injector test light kit...you'll probably get a better response.

The kit consists of small test lights that have two prongs that you plug into your injector connector once you pull the connector from the actual injector itself. If your connector is receiving a "pulse" or "signal" the light will light rhythmically in time with what the pulse should be that is going to the injector. If it doesn't light...well the injector isn't getting a pulse.

You make ask why you can't just hook up a regular test light and get the same results. The answer is because test lights have an resistance that is too high to allow the light to come on for a regular test light. The resistance is low enough on the "noid" light to allow the signal to come through.

Hopefully, this will help you out if you haven't already resolved your problem.

Here's the link for the rental part from O'Reilly:
