Default 1 & 6 spark not working

My 1&6 spark plug seems to be shot. I have swap the 1 & 3 coils back and forth to check if I needed a new coil. But it doesnt seem that way. Everytime I switch out the #3 coil (thinking it might be the bad one) to the with the #1 ( the good one) coil no difference!
Ive changed the sparkplug wires, and i really dont think its a ignition coil problem. What do u guy think?

If you want to check if there is spark, you can just pull the fuel pump fuse or fuel injection fuse, uninstall the 1+6 spark plugs, insert them into the spark plug boots, rest the spark plug against the valve cover and crank the motor over. You should see the spark.

I think its a fuel injector. You can listen to them with a stethoscope or by pressing the handle of a screwdriver to your ear and the tip on the fuel injector. It should be a regular clicking noise and they should all be the same. If any of the plugs are wet or fouled, thats another sign of a bad fuel injector. If your engine oil smells like gas, thats another sign.

I'm not sure why it would be 1&6. I don't have the fuel injector part number. Normally I use rockauto.com for this kind of part.
