cylinder fire issues

2007 Pontiac g6 4 cylinder, third cylinder not firing, replaced plugs/swapped plugs, checked and swapped coils,checked wiring, checked and swapped fuel injectors/checked wiring, problem stays with that one cylinder, looked down at the piston head, looks like a lot of carbon build up and a little sludgy. the other cylinder heads are not sludgy but do have carbon build up, could the intake be that dirty causing this issue ?

Good Luck with it .......
So exactly what part of my post did you not understand ?

In your other post yesterday about the same off topic car , I posted the above response . Now I promise you , you can post in every sub forum on the page and the answer will still be the same ;

GO FIND A FORUM DEDICATED TO YOUR CAR !
