Exhaust pulses look ok - to me, you are looking for uniformity rather than being able to diagnose much as there is so much going on.

tried to put a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail did not have the right adapter it is a GM Ecotech engine I have S.U.R. & R. FPT290 Deluxe Fuel Pressure Tester Adapter Kit but the nut is to short it will not make it to the threads.
it would be nice to make a flow test on the injectors but it is not easy to get to the connectors. I connected the Pico to the feed wire for all injectors and control wire to injector 4 since freeze frame data show misfire on all cylinders but it also on number four. I drove the car until the battery died on the computer and first then I got a misfire but it was too late.

I looked at the waveforms again and it's hard to see, but I think your crank sensor issue was the air gap as it's amplitude was only mV. the new one looks better.

Here is I think when the car misfired when driving it is not when I switchgear it is a car with a stick shift and I think not when decel.

Is the missfire completely random or only at high/low rpm, only when warm/cold, loaded/unloaded
What are the fuel trims doing now

That's really interesting. As far as I can see the no. 4 injector is indeed randomly firing out of turn and the the current is showing the load of two injectors firing at the same time. Note that it does not then fire when it should.
To me this indicates that the ECU is getting confused about where in the firing cycle it is.
To start I would scope that again and put the cam and crank signal on the other channels, then again with the coil primary instead of injector amperage to see if the ecu is also firing the coil out of time.
I note also that about 4 crank revolutions before the event the voltage starts to drop from 14.2v down to 12.24v at the time of the out of turn firing, that could be a clue as it comes first.
Going back to the wiring posted earlier to see what else is on the injector lines as there is an amp ripple there from something,
EDIT might be worth clamping just after the relay to see if there is a huge draw from the evap purge valve/EGR or any of the other stuff on that same supply that coincides with the issue.

Maybe the cam sensor loses the 5 refs it gets too low I don't know if that's possible. The crank sensor makes its own voltage so that should be ok. maybe it happens on the other cylinders too. I got a new injector I might change it but that may not solve the problem.

If you do it again can you check that the Amp clamp is set to zero. Not sure where you measured it but you can see there is additional draw that is cycling - that goes away at the time of the event which is why I am leaning towards something else on the line might be causing the issue.
With 2 channels do the injector amps and a primary coil.
Where are you measuring the injector current?
Definitely take a look at the CMP signal vs Injector current, - the spike will clue us as to[strike] where[/strike] when to look.
EDIT the more I think about this, the more I think the injector - and even the coil firing, are just a symptom of the ecu losing where it is due to a CKP or CMP error - and the cause of that error is somewhere in the voltage drop we see

Will be interesting to see what the CMP has to say at the time.
Would Cyl 4 be the first injection event after the ECU sees the ckp/cmp match that tells it where the engine is (TDC on 1?)
