1999 ford ranger 3.0 auto extended cab flex fuel
problem is cylinder 3 misfire. truck now runs rough at idle all injectors tested good now after i replaced the bad one in cylinder 3. just replaced sparkplugs and wires, its a electronic ignition, replaced downstream o2 sensor. battery is brand new truck has 200,000 miles on it ran fine until the other day revved it to 3500 rpms and started to run funny, but seems like not on all cylinders it is getting spark on all cylinders and tested compression it is at 175psi all cylinders. fuel filter is new. havent tested fuel pressure. just lost ne help would be awesome. had a tech scan tool on it nothing stood out besides o2 sensor and cylinder 3 misfire.

ITS NOT THE PLUGS!!!!!! thanks guys but they are ford motorcraft oem and so are the wires the gap is proper and i tested the coil today it has 13 to 15 k ohms on all matching cylinders that fire together the truck still detects a cylinder 3 misfire on the genesis scan tool. tested fuel pressure tonight it was at 55psi which is within spec. i appreciate the help guys but its not as easy as plugs and wires. connections to coil are all good no corrosion. pcv valves all function properly pulled valve cover and springs are good,which i suspected cause of the compression. im new to the site and really would appreciate any other ideas out there thanks.

that is NOT really the only way to test them. i had one not check out on ohms thats why it was replaced and yes the genesis is a scan tool it did not detect the injectors. all the pulse witdhs are within spec. Its goin to ford dealer soon ill let them throw parts at it if they have to, hopefully not. as soon as its fixed i will let everyone know wat this things major malfunction is.
