    So the car leaves me stranded a couple of days ago. Low coolant light comes on, then service engine soon, then it dies. No pops, bangs or explosions. It threw a P0306 code "misfire cylinder 6". The motor cranks to a set point and stops. I can hand turn the crank back with a breaker bar to that set point and no further. Pulled the valve covers, all the rockers, springs and valves seem to be ok. Oil isn't milky or smell of fuel. Everything moves with the handturn of the crank, so I don't think its a timing chain issue. I plan on dropping the oil pan tomorrow night to check crank and rods. Just thought I would see if anyone had any ideas before jump in. Thanks

    Failed to included that it is a 1998 3.8 N/A 178,000 miles.
