Occasionally I experience rough idle. The truck seems to run fine other then that. Error code, cylinder 6 misfire is appearing. Could a sensor be bad? How do I test?

Check spark plug/wire, fuel injector, and compression on #6 cylinder.

New wires, new injectors. What should the compression be?

Compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading cylinder is within 25 percent of the highest reading cylinder.

NOTE: Variations exceeding 25 percent indicate an improperly seated valve or worn/broken piston rings.
