Default Possible Bad Injector?

Audi A4 1998 1.8T Manual Quattro

My car was running great until yesterday when I was pulling into my garage. I go to get up the driveway and I killed it, so I started it again and put more gas and got up the driveway but my check engine light when on briefly and went off. I turned my engine off and went inside. That night I go to get something to eat and my car had the CEL on so I VAGcom'd it and it brought up two codes.

P0300 Random/Mulitiple Misfire
P0301 Misfire Cylinder #1

So I switch my coil packs around (I have the 034 Motorsport ICM delete Kit Installed) and no change. I switch my spark plugs around and still no change. I cleared the codes in between each process. I then start the car and pull the plug on Injector #1 and the car sound doesn't change.

I ordered some used Fuel Injectors 4 of them for $60. They will be here in the next day or so. Is there anything else I should be looking for in the meantime? Is the injector the cause of this? Leaking Intake Gasket?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ahead.

id check cyl compression too, you should have started with running seafoam through the tank if you suspected an injector.

Actually pulled the MAF sensor and now the car is running fine. I had another MAF sensor laying around and swapped it out. Running on all cylinders again. Lol.
