ok ppl ma61 with 5m-e, running like a piece of shi- stuff...no. 6 cyl is not doing any thing. its not the leads or plugs(swapped both around for other cyl's and it was still 6) so it has to be injectors rite? it sounds like its injecting( long screwdriva on top of injector- tick tick sound same as all the others), thought about the HG but no.5 is running fine. i got almost no money so i cant just take it to a shop. but getting the injector out myself is a bit beyond me. i dont have the tools or knowlage to remove the intake,fuel rail is fine but i cnat get the intake off to get to the other bolts holding the rail on. is there other ways to find out what it is?? thanks

pull the spark plug out to see if it's wet with fuel
intake is two parts-just remove the plunum/runners section to get access to the fuel rail - you can do it by just removing the throttle body but looks to be a PITA.
you'll need 12/14/17mm spanner/sockets and screwdrivers/pliers for removing various pipes.
the banjo joins on the fuel rail will need 17 or 19mm for the exit and Cold start injector, the inlet is a huge thing which i dont have (e.g. use stilson or vicegrips).
with it being he host season, jsut check that (like me) you HG has't gone - you have any water in the oil (check filler cap) or exh fumes in the water (checkfor bubbles)?

could possibly be a broken valve spring or valve not seating properly. we have had a few engines (at my workshop) with the same problems that you are complaining of, after doing all the stuff you have (leads, plugs), the engine still ran like crap.
pulled the rocker cover off, only to find a valve spring broken and not allowing air into cylinder.....
suggest compression test on all cylinders and comparing no.6 with others.
also if you get injectors out, swap no.6 with another cylinder and see if misfire moves to other cylinder, then you will know for sure its the injector
