Default 98 Caravan 3.0 SES P0306 Help

This is my first post.
Hope you can help me with the subj.

98,000 miles I own this car 2 years and never changed sparks or wires. Rough idle. Less power.

Code says Missfiring Cyl #6.

My suggestion is change all spark plugs and wires. Maybe somebody has DIY?

Please help me.

Also do I need to change timing belt with this millage?

you should have more milage out of your belt.. think it is supposed to be around 120k ... i get the same code on my 99 caravan.. i reset it.. and its gone for a while.. it comes back... same thing delete it and its gone.. just made a drive to denver.. it coded on me after i got here.. i cleared codes and its off... will see if it comes back on .. last time i cleared it it was almost 2k miles ago.. i do know i have some valve issues.. as i am burning some oil.. that can cause it to code out.. other than that.. more than likely its a vac leak.. i havent torn into mine to check compression or anything yet.. gonna do that soon tho

be a good idea to start with the plugs and wires... more than likely thats it.. now.. front 3.. easy... back driver side.. easy... center rear.. not quite as easy.. hope u have a small arm... passenger back.. good luck.. do it with the engine cool.. and from UNDERNEATH . thats how i figured the easiest way was.. good luck
