I have a misfire on my cylinder number 6. I've changed my plugs and wires and still have the issue. Any ideas on what I should do to solve this issue?

it could have to do with the timing, might be slightly retarded.. or the cylinder could be screwed. you might have to pull off the valve cover and check the rockers, push rods, even maybe the cylinder. or it could be as simple as the connection for the wire in the distributor, might need to be cleaned or changed.

may suggest to check to make sure the injector on cylinder #6 is not leaking

it could be the module that all the plug wires go to, cause ford focus's have that problems some times.

Check you coil on plug, check the EGR valve and modulator. I don't know why these guys are telling you you have a bad cylinder right off the rip start simple and work your way up

I've seen the value spring break on this vehicle several times. Remove valve cover and check springs. Probably will find one could of spring cracked off
