Question Misfire+ sys rich+sensor circuit HV 6 cyl

Have changed plugs dist cap wires & still get erratic misfire that initially shows code 0303 ?? Starts fine hot & cold & develops erratic on off misfire at mid range revs (1800 & up).. Could this be fuel injector? Tried liquid cleaners which seemed to help for a while. Mileage around 135000 km & no significant other symptoms.
What to chec/ replace next??

Are you also saying you're running rich? Are you getting an o2 sensor code?

My 3.9 used to misfire/backfire like a mother and my problem was a bad o2 sensor. Worked flawlessly till I blew it up

Did you get cylinder misfire codes or just O2 was misfire erratic? Thx for help

Only misfire Codes. Try swapping your passenger side upstream sensor to ur driver side. If the misfire changes from cylinder 3 to 2,4 or 6 Its your sensor.
