Angry #5 cylinder Misfire PLEASE HELP

I bought this car in may of this year and after about 3 months i started getting the tuggin, weezing, and it got so bad it finally triggered my check engine light

WE HAVE DONE A COMPRESSION CHECK- FINE
CHANGED COIL PACKS
CHANGED WIRES AND PLUGS
CHANGED THE CAM SENSOR, CRANK SENSOR, FUEL FLOW SENSOR
CHANGED THE NUMBER 5 FUEL INJECTOR

REPEATEDLY CHANGED THE NUMBER 5 SPARK PLUG WHICH WOULD BE FOULED OUT.

STILL DOES IT, MAN I HAVE SPENT A TON OF MONEY. PLEASE HELP. DO YOU THINK IT COULD BE THE PCM ? OR WHAT ?

If you have a check engine light coming on, you need it checked for codes. Quit guessing what's wrong with your car.

+1. If you want to fix something, take a small screwdriver and remove the caps lock key from your keyboard.

If the #5 plug is fouling then you have an issue in that cylinder. Probably head gasket, but you won’t know until you read the codes to verify its a #5 misfire, and then tear into the motor. Good luck...

If that is your mechanic shotgunning parts like that you need a new mechanic. I would have been fired for that many attempts and still having a car come back. Probably like 6 parts ago...
