Default miss fire cylinder #6

Hello everyone, I am new here to MF, I have an issue with my 1994 v-6 mustang, have miss fire on cylinder 6, replaced wires, plugs, ignition coil pack, fuel filter and injector #6, all others are good, checked compression it is at 150, someone told it could be the computer not sending signal to that particular injector or keeping it wide open, i tend to beleive the later, due to that i have a lot of white smoke from exhaust, please help, thanks in advance

You are throwing parts at it. I would recommend taking it to a shop and for about $80 bucks you'll get a real answer as to what is going on.

Head Gaskets are a relatively common problem on these motors... I had a leaking head gasket on the driver side, but it had perfect compression... just consumed coolant at a very slow rate...
