Somebody please tell me where to go next. Scanned code P0304. I have swapped plugs, wires,fuel injector and the coil. I still have the same problem and dont have the money to just throw parts at it.

As you know your code is a missfire on number 4 cyl, you may have a bad harness that plugs on the injector, crossed plug wires (not likely but can happen) or a bad PCM. Below you will find wiring for number 4 injector as well as your code read out.
