Try the easy thing first and change #6 spark plug.

I know you said the plugs are new you just never know if the ceramic has a crack.
Had same issue and drove me nuts for a couple of days.
Cheap,easy and nothing to loose by trying it.

That is the DIS, ignition control module. The one, ECM, TC is talking about is over next to the brake master cylinder, and over the clutch master cylinder.

You ran down the diagnostic chart for a DTC 64? I just looked it up and the hardest step is checking the connector at the right O2 sensor.

Car in closed loop @ 1200 rpm, coolant temp 95F to 203F, does scan tool read O2 voltage below .35volts ( 350mV)?

If Yes, discon O2 harness @ sensor, with car @ idle speed, scan tool should display O2 sensor voltage between .35 and .55 volts ( 350mV and 550mV)
Does it? If NO, refer to aids on facing page.

If Yes refer to aid on facing page. If NO, then PPL ckt 998 shorted to ground or ECM faulty.


The miss, I stick with what Pete said.... Or that injector is stuck shut?

If you're SURE of spark, then I can think of only two conditions that will cause a a misfire with an associated Lean code.
#1: Fuel injector stuck shut.
#2: ECM not firing injector.

Yup, could be - did it start acting up when you changed injectors?
