Hello everyone!
I'm glad to report I can finally bring this thread to a victorious conclusion! The new injector has fixed the misfire at all rpm levels and it has helped significantly with the hesitation. Thanks to everybody who helped out and contributed to getting my ranger back on the road!
For those of you reading this down the line trying to fix problems of your own, here's a summary of the thread:
Initial problem: truck started misfiring heavily, blinking CEL, codes for random, 1st, and 2nd cylinder misfires.
First fix: used dual coil pack test to determine spark was an issue, replaced plugs and wires, no change
Second fix: replaced coil packs, passed dual coil pack test (after it failed with the original coil packs), still misfired, wouldn't set a code though
Third fix: Checked fuel pressure, passed, listened for clicking of each injector, injector #3 made no sound. Replaced injector #3, misfire resolved.
As you can probably see, the initial symptoms and codes weren't exactly indicative of a fuel injector issue (let alone on cylinder #3) but this presents the perfect opportunity to give my two cents on using forums to your best advantage. You're probably looking around for a thread that discusses the exact issue that is present on your vehicle and gives the exact fix that will get it back on the road. If you can find it, good for you, but you're likely to eventually find a bunch of threads that provide information relevant to your issue but don't seem to provide a common solution. The best strategy is to learn the methods of diagnosis presented in these threads that will allow you to isolate and find/rule out each individual possibility. A methodical approach starting with the most likely/cheapest issue usually leads to the best resolution in my experience. Even though it may be time consuming and you're often times wrong, each test and the experience that comes with it is still just as valuable whether it works or not. So the next time your vehicle breaks down (and it will), look at it as a learning experience! With the experience that comes with each fix, it just gets easier!
Thanks and good luck!
