Your heads, my 02 ranger 3.0 doing same thing I replaced plugs, wires, fuel injectors,coil,fuel filter,intake manifold gaskets upper and lower, valve cover gaskets, throttle position sensor,cam sensor/sync. And still misfiring and running crappy. Did a drop down test and it showed 3cyldr. Won't hold drops very quick, 2 cylinder starts to drop but not near as fast as 3. So check your heads because what I've read up, 3.0 ltrs are notorious for this problem. Don't spend tons of money like I did for nothing.
