if you have done the tune and replaced all 3 sensors, and the EGR valve and the EGR selenoid switch, and replaced the injectors ( it wouldn't hurt to return the injector for that cylinder and get a new one, often they come clogged from factory) also has the coil pack been cheked (where the plug wires hook up on top of engine) could it be firing more towars bank 2 than one

sounds like a faulty injector, the cylinder is running way too lean, i say replace the injector or maybe try some injector cleaner before hand just incase, so if it is just a dirty injector you don't have to spend that much money
