i got a 2002 3.8 essex the code comes up as p0316 misfire cylendar 6 first 1000 rpms and p0301cylendar 1 misfire i changed the plugs to bosch platnum when i got it a few months ago less then 3k miles on them. just put new autolite wires on it two days ago with dielectric grease. pulled cylendar 1 plug and its clean no carbon no oil dry and clean. no smoke coming from the exaust and no sweet smell so i dont think im burning coolant or oil. no mechanical damage on the plugs. when i unplug the wire from the coil pack it gets worse so i dont think its the coils. it hessitates when i give it gas but thats because of the misfire. i sprayed the vaccum hoses that i could get to with starting fluid with it running and it didnt rev up so i dont believe there is a vaccum leak i need to check compression but other then that i cant think of what it would be. im about to go check the gap on the plugs but i know the wires on the cylendars are right. it also sometimes dies on occassion and throws a code but when i start the car again it goes away idk if they are related problems but that would be my guess i just hope its not a burned valve or sticking lifter. i really dont want to have to get into the block
