cylinder 6 misfire
Ok guys, I have a miss on cylinder 6. I pulled the spark plug and it looks greeny yellowish. I checked to see if i had spark and It does, I replaced the spark plug and it's still missing. It shakes the truck pretty good at idle too. I'm thinking it might be the injector. Also are the injector all the same on the 3.0, like can I take one of my 98 and see if the will work on my 06?

check the the injector with an ohm meter. check the other ones for a reference and see if the resistance is lower or higher on cylinder 6 injector. if it's a short to open, it wouldnt function. if you get a reading of infinity your injector is bad forsure.
I had a misfire code on my 1994 3.0 last spring and it ended up being a cracked spark plug wire........you may want to check it.
i found the problem while truck was idleing and jiggling the wire....and got a nice Zap.....that wasnt fun.
Just an idea.....

You may be getting spark, but the coil pack may not be sending the electrical current on proper time. The cheap and easy way to check this is to replace the plugs and wires (might as well if they haven't been done for quite some time). If it's still running rough, and the plug is wet, proceed to swapping the coil pack out).
Hope this helps.
I'm speaking from experience. I had a code thrown at me regarding the #6 cyl too. Turned out it was my coil pack that went. I followed the troubleshooting advice from another member, and it helped. Now I pass that advice onto another member in need.
