Bad fuel injector... 3 months old...

Bad fuel injector... 3 months old...
About 4 months ago, my 4Runner was getting bad gas mileage, and had no power (the 3.0 was rebuilt less than 6 months ago by a reputable shop using ALL new OEM parts).
Anyhow, it turned out to be a bad fuel injector on the number 3 cylinder.
Well, I was driving to work today and I had the same problem as I did 4 months ago... No power...
I pulled the spark plugs (and there is PLENTY of spark) one by one. Sure enough, cyl 3 is not firing...
One more thing.
The thing that initiated the rebuild is that the number 3 cylinder had a rod knock...
So, I wonder if these things are related.
I am thinking that the problem here is the engine wire...
Any ideas here?

I am pretty sure it's a short or an open in the wiring harness.
I hit a good bump and the engine looses power.
I hit another good bump and everything is working fine again.
