Faulty: spark plug, spark plug wire, ignition coil, ignition module, fuel injector are the most common. Coolant leaking into a cylinder is another.
Internal engine problems such as burnt valve, broken valve spring, bent push rod, worn rings
CHECK WIRE
Coil, injector, internal engine....
See related link.
It could be a hairline crack in the head gasket between cylinder 2 & 3.
Very possible.
Check the timing on your vehicle ,but there's more on why your getting a misfire
If cylinder 3 on a Ford Explorer is misfiring, it might be possible to fix it by changing the coil pack for that cylinder. The spark plug might also need to be taken out and re-gapped or replaced. If neither of these options work, the spark plug wire can be checked.
Bad plug or something is misassembled.
If you mean the fuel injector for the #4 cylinder isn't working the answer is simple, either the injector is bad and needs replaced, or the connector has gone bad/ the wires are shorted out. Put an injector pulse tester on that injector (most people don't have these so you'll need to get it tested at a garage), if the injector doesn't fire when it's tested separatly you need an injector. If it does fire that means the plug/wire is the problem.
When you replaced the plugs, did you check the compression? Did any of the plugs look different than the others? Low compression in one cylinder can cause misfiring. But then, so can a faulty distributor cap.
this could be caused by a fuel problem, not spark. check to see if your getting spark to the plug. ck to see if the injector is firing, and run a compression test on that cylinder
Could be a bum fuel injector. Pull number 6 spark plug again, if it is wet you have a spark problem. If the plug is bone dry you have a fuel problem, probably a bad injector. Swap injector with another cylinder and see if the misfire switches cylinders or remains on number 6 cylinder.
