Since the misfire code is still in the same cylinder after the swap, the next thing to do will be to look at the plug and do a compression test. What type of scanner are you using? Are you sure the unit for the MAF is set for G/S and not lb/M?

So I rented a compression test kit from O'Reilly's. They warned me that it might not work because the last guy had problems. What I found was cylinder 1&3 showed no compression at all and the spark plugs were clean. 5&6 held 30 psi and the tip of the plugs were dark with wet fuel.

I need to try again with a reliable kit, but is this adding up to stuck valves or something else?
