3.0 Misfire

We had this vehicle come in with a misfire on the #1 cylinder, so we did a complete tune-up with plugs, wires, & ingition coil. Checked fuel system, injectors, pretty much everything to cause a misfire we have checked. The only DTC's is the #1 misfire.

Any help as to why this poor 3.0 is still having a misfire? This is on a 2002, 2WD, ext cab. Thanks in advance!

Brenton

cam synchro will throw misfire codes on occasion, did you do a compression or leak down test?

is it an intermittent misfire or is it a dead hole?

We've already replaced the cam synchro, so that's not it. And it will run like crap from the moment you start it.

Compression is good, 150 psi on cylinder #1. Were gonna try a leak down test in a few & I'll get back here.
