Did you replace the crank sensor?

With the engine idling, at operating temperature, and the misfire occuring, remove the plug wires from the spark plugs one at a time. Make sure you use insulated plug wire pliers or you will get whacked off the coil. When you lift each wire, listen for the RPM to drop. If you find a wire that has no effect on RPM, that is the problem cylinder. Record the problem cylinder and continue through all 6 cylinders. Check for spark at the problem cylinder(s). I like to remove the spark plug from the cylinder and place it back in the plug wire. I run a jumper wire from a good ground to the side electrode of the plug. I then put a compression guage in the cylinder. I crank the engine 3 revolutions. I make note of the compression reading of the first "puff", or the first revolution of the test. I like to see at least 50 psi. By the third revolution I like to see around 120psi. If the compression checks out good, start the engine. Check the spark plug to see if it's firing. If it is, we have a fuel problem in that cylinder since our compression checked out OK. By doing the test this way we save time as we can physically see the spark plug fire and do a compression test all at one shot. We can safely narrow down to a fuel delivery problem to that cylinder. Let's start there and if you have a fuel pressure guage, let's check fuel pressure as well.
