Default Windstar Engine Help

I posted this in the windstar section, but I thought I might get better help here -

I recently bought a 1999 Windstar. I knew there was a problem with the engine as the check engine light was on and the error code was a "cylinder 5 " misfire.

These are the steps take so far after researching the problem online -

replaced spark plug, checked coils, changed PCV valve, swapped injectors, compression test (it gets good compression)

We also checked other factors to see if the head gasket was bad, but there are no indications this was the case.

This is very puzzling and the guys I am working with to fix this are about out of ideas.

Anyone have any other suggestions we can try?

1. Did you replace the plug wire(s)?

2. How did you check the coil? A weak coil will spark read good in ambient atmosphere, but will not spark good enough or at all under a compressed atmosphere.

3. Did you check to ensure that you are getting a good "PULSE" signal to the injector? No PULSE, No fire = Mis-Fire
