Post Misfiring cylinder

Hi there I have a 2000 Ranger 3.0 Flex engine with a M/T and over 135,000 miles. For the last year or so since I bought the vehicle I have been having a misfire on my #6 cylinder. It will come and go every few weeks. Typically stays for about 2 days with the check engine light and then will disappear for a week of 2.

So far I have replaced the plugs with stock Motorcraft ones and put Standard Ignition wires to replace the ones on it. Then I replaced the coil with one from Standard Ignition. After that I replaced the fuel filter, moved fuel injectors, got a professional fuel system cleaning done where they bypass the pump. There are also new O2 sensor. I have cleaned the MAF sensor along with cleaning the plenium chamber with Seafoam while the truck was running along with cleaning the intake chamber with a teflon safe cleaner. I have also been keeping up with tune ups. Also to my knowledge it has yet to overheat.

Does anyone have any recommendations as to what to do next or what to check. Also is there anyone having a similar issue to mine?

You might want to check for low compression on that cylinder.
