testing coils and injectors

So my number 6 cylinder is misfiring. #6 cylinder is the front right cylinder for those who don't know. I want to test the voltage for both the fuel injector and the ignition coil. I am about 90% positive it is the injector because I hear a ticking noise. Does anyone know the numbers I should be looking for? I tried looking in the FSM but some times it is like they wrote the damn thing in chinese. No offense to any chinese people

Once I am 100% sure on the problem I am going to bring it to the dealership to get warrantied. I just want to know of the problem first because I hate going to them and having the dealer look for the problem and waste time on my car.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Why don't you swap the coil pack to another cylinder and see if the code comes up there? If it does, it's the coil, if not, it's the injector. You would have to reset the CEL before though.

Also, a simple search of the forums has multiple hits.
