Default Lots of Issues

Ok I have a 2002 F150 V6 that has been a real pain as of late. It all started when the truck would miss a little bit when it rains or got washed. Then the truck started missing almost anytime I used it. Now the truck wont start and when it does will not accelerate and misses BADLY. I replaced the coil and now it starts again and run better but its still skipping. I replaced the wires about a year ago. Iv had a check engine light for 1.5 years for o2 sensors.

Any ideas whats going on....

There are 4 main problems that can cause a misfire.
bad sparkplug
bad COP (Coil on plug) - the wire that sends the spark
bad fuel injector
piston compression problems.

I'd bet on a plug or injector...

well i just changed the plugs and its still doing it. So that rules out plugs and coil. Maybe ill get new wires too just to be sure. Also anyway I can check the injectors?
