Scanner indicates a "Misfire on Cyl #6".
I tried to isolate the problem by switching with Cyl#5 the sparkplug, then sparkplug wire, then injector. Each time I would do a switch, I would reset the Engine Service light, wait for it to come on, then do a reading. Each time the light would come on it would indicate the same message not showing the problem jumping to Cyl #5.
Since I have determined that the plug, wire, and injector is good in Cyl #6, yet continue to get a misfire, could someone advice on what I else I need to check? I read somewhere that there might be a "vacuum leak". How exactly is that checked?
