Default 03 Grand Cherokee 4.0l misfire

I have a 03 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 4.0L it has 134K miles

Last week it started to misfire and the Check Engine light was flashing and stayed on and these were the codes a PO300,PO305,PO306. Did a comp. test. (185-195 on each cycl.) I changed the Spark Plugs with a NGK(nothing special) and the Coil Packs (rail style) the check engine light went off after that and haven't had a problem for about 5 days of driving, This morning the Engine light came back on and it was misfiring badly, same codes PO300,PO305,PO306... Should I change the #5 and #6 Injectors?? or is there something else???

Anyone else have these issues!! Any help would be greatly Appreciated

It could be something as simple as a bad electrical connection at the injector, or low fuel pressure. You could swap the position of the injectors and see if the miss follows.

Ok so I haven't had a chance to switch Injectors, and it hasn't given me any issues since, except this morning on my way to work, But as it was misfiring (65mph) I put it in neutral and shut it off and cut it right back on and stuck it in Drive, Misfire went away and ran fine!!!! this has we alittle lost now, any new input?
