At my wits end.

classified as a 2001 even though it was early production 2/00)Good morning all,Bought this 2000 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2wd 4.0L V6 sohc 200k+ miles From a gentleman.Has a check engine light on and until recently had not driven it that much .Long story short,I needed to get the check engine light turned off so I could do a Bonded Title because the person I bought it from left state and never gave me the title.Bought the obd2 hardware and forscan.Did smoke testing after reading codes and making notes.Appeared to be intake manifold gaskets leaking so changed upped and lower as well as an exhaust gasket at the "Y" pipe.Did the smoke test again and replaced a couple other hoses PCV valve and hose. Did the graphing in forscan and seemed bank 2 up stream wasn't fast switching so replaced it.Keep getting miss fires on on cylinders 2 & 3.Check fuel pressure and was below specs.(Replaced fuel pump) aLso pulled all injector and did the diy pressure injector cleaner on all 6 till injectors produced nice Quad streams, reinstalled (done when intake gaskets were done seemed appropriate).Again , still getting misfires.Checked compression on all cylinders and are above recommend specs.New plugs and wires, spark seemed weak from coil doing a visual inspection of running with new plug of color and brightness of spark. Got a second hand known good coil. Still getting misfires on bank 1. Any input would be appreciated. I have done a few other thingsNew MAF, TPS example, figured high miles and age no shame in replacing a few other electric components.No shame in putting a little money into known new good working to rule out possible suspects.Thanks
