Electrical problem
2003 Ford Windstar 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Have P0301 code, looking to try and repair. I will try flexy5 suggestion on the plug and wires first. Is there there a way to test the coil packs? I can only guess this would be the next step in determining the cause. To clear the code, I have been told that after 2-3 restarts once fixed would clear itself or has to be removed from a tester, is this all that can be done? Lastly, radio console went out, checked the fuses on drivers side and all seem to be good, any ideas?

Check the sparkplug,compression and injector for cyl. no.1

Misfires can be caused by worn or fouled spark plugs, a weak spark (weak coil, bad spark plug wire), loss of compression, vacuum leaks, anything that causes an unusually lean fuel mixture (lean misfire), an EGR valve that is stuck open, dirty fuel injectors, low fuel pressure, or even bad fuel.
