The scanner indicates "#6 CYLINDER MISFIRE".
I replaced the sparkplug and sparkplug wires on that cylinder and checked the contacts in the distributor cap. Yet, I continue to get the same message.
I would greatly appreciate any advice or theories. Clogged injector?
Thanks!

if it has decent compression and the timing cannot be wrong then yes the mixture is probably lean due to lack of fuel or air leak.

do you feel the engine misfiring? Is it idling rough, or chugging when moving?

There is very minor chugging when at idles, but the Engine Service Light remains on. Scanner indicates there is still a misfire on the same cylinder I replaced the plugs and wires on.

hey man, i have the same issue on cylinder 2. I would check the resistance of the injector first and see if it's electrically fried. If it's not, it could be clogged, which would be you would have to swap the injector of with another cylinder's injector. Then reset the codes and see if the misfire changes cylinders. If the misfire changes cylinders, then you have a bad injector. If it doesn't, then you're screwed just like me.
