Have you checked your camshaft sensor? It's possible that the vane on the Synchronizer is misaligned.

2002 Ford ZX2 301&302codes new timing belt wires

FORD ESCORT.THE TWIN CAM, DOHC.ENGINE.
do not mix up coil pack 4HV wires or wrecks firing order
THE PCM + PACK SETS FIRING ORDER.
WIRED WRONG THERE IS NO RUNNING, ENGINE.
I WILL POST A BETTER PACK FROM NGK
do not change HV wires unless 1 at a time.
if one HV wire fails 2 plugs go dead.
this tech is called wasted spark.
the misfire is real and plug 1 and 3 are dead
flashing CEL means CAT melts next with flood of raw fuel landing on the CAT input.
first learn the 3 rules of spark engines
good engine, 150psi or more, and cam belt not SLIPPED.
next is spark if spark is good fuel is last
cant burn fuel on dead engine or dead spark or timed backwards.
301means weak combustion#1ONLY THAT>
why is next. and that takes tools GOT TOOLS?
99% do not here and want 50 guesses.
if used a timing light (spark tool) and timing is wayoff
the belt was put in wrong
or coil pack wired wrong.,OMG not both, sigh./

I have a 2002 ford taurus SE, coil pack has been replaced because Advanced Auto ran a diagnostic and said my coil pack was bad. Well its not and im still not getting fire on #3 and #4 spark plugs. changed...

You visually checked for spark and there was none? #3 and #4 show to be on same coil, each coil fires two plugs. Battery has a full charge? The red wire at coil pack is voltage, it has good voltage? Any applicable trouble codes?
The yellow wires with different tracer colors are grounds controlled by the pcm, one ground for each coil. Did you check voltage on ground wire engine cranking? I can't rule out a faulty coil driver in pcm. It's possible your old coil pack damaged the coil driver in pcm? If that is the problem, hope it didn't hurt the new coil pack.

What does it mean when cylinder 3 and 6 are miss firing

MISFIRING MEANS PLUGS NOT FIRING WHEN IT SUPPOSE TO.IF SPARK PLUGS HAVE OVER 100000 MILES ON THEM TIME FOR NEW PLUGS AND WIRES.IF ALL IS GOOD. A BAD COIL OR DIRTY FUEL INJECTORS TO BOTH CYLINDERS WILL CAUSE MISFIRE.

2002 Taurus 24v Duratec getting 301 and 316 codes. Misfiring bad while idling at a light or drive thru. Any ideas ?

Ok the P0301 code means that your engine is misfiring on the first #1 cylinder so that is good you know where it is coming from. The P0316 Code means that your engine is misfiring in the first 1000 revolutions of the engine starting. What i would suggest you do is change the plug and wire on cylinder #1. If this doesn't solve your problem then you can go to your coil packs and change that. If that still doesn't solve your problem then it may get difficult leading to an injector. But i am almost positive that it is going to be no more then a plug wire or coil pack!

Missing out

that would be a good start. pull the plug on # 1 cylinder and plug into wire now crank engine you should get spark same as # 5 cylinder if no spark replace the coil pack

2001 ford taurus p0301 and p0303

You are mis fireing on cyl 1 and 3 if you replaced plugs and wires and coil this is going to be a fuel injector issue or valve issue. See if you can swap the injectors with known good cyl. and see if it changes. Or have a shop do a fuel injector service on it to see if it helps. It may be to late for the fuel injector service.
