Then how do you know its dead? Compression test? If your getting fuel and spark w/ little or no compression than perhaps a stuck valve? Also says your running raw fuel into converter...Elaborate plz

its a 98 expedition with 165000 miles on it i purchased it with the miss, hoping the worst it could be was the head, replaced all spark plugs and #6 still wouldn't fire, pulled boot off spark plug and plugged it into old spark plug, has good spark, replaced the injector, and checked for voltage to injector while it was running, checked the same as #5 that is firing, have any ideas

Perform a compression test. Remove cam cover and check for follower off.
