Maybe a dirty fuel filter? Have you checked fuel pressure? Is is running bad all the time or does it idle fine & drive bad?

You need a scanner to see what cylinder is causing the miss, the. Start swapping parts from the bad cylinder with a known good cylinder. Plug,wire,coil,injector. If the same cylinder is still causing the problem it's mechanical. Compression and leak down will tell ya whats causing it. Could be a head gasket, valve issues or rings.
