2001 Ford Ranger 3.0. Engine misfiring. Does someone have an answer please?

That is a lot of replaced parts! Was this a 'let's try changing this' method of car repair? It doesn't work. A Pro-Grade scan tool computer will usually diagnose the part or the module with the issue. Did you check compression on number 6 for a sticking valve? The other possibility is that your replaced o2 sensor is defective is caused a rich mixture, dumping gas and a carbon fouled plug. Sensors come in qualities at three levels. Always buy the OEM spec sensors as they are so critical to efficient running. Avoid Made in Mexico and Made in China. I recommend Denso.

How to remove factory radio from an 02 dodge stratus rt

If its a 2001+ Stratus Coupe first you need to remove the 2 bolts on the left and right sides of the lower middle dash assembly, these are at the very bottom of the assembly close to the center consuel (were your gearshift knob is. Once you remove those the assembly around your stero will come off. After that its just a matter of unbolting the stereo, sliding it out and removing the wireing harness in the back.
hope this helps
