so i've replaced the coil pack and the spark plug but yet my car is still acting like its misfiring.
if anyone knows what else could the issue be please let me know.

thanks in advance.
Cyl 6 could be caused by a lot of things. 99% of the time it's not the plug or coil pack. When that happens it shuts down the back fuel rail bank and runs on three cylinders. When you shut down the car and restart it, it should run fine. Correct? What were you doing when it coded? Was the car up to temp? Could also be a cam sensor going bad. On the ST MT cars with DMFW, at 6500 rpm the vibration from the DMFW was causing a Cyl 6 misfire. But it's not really a misfire. So like I said, it could be a number of things.
