Check your plug and coil pack on that cylinder thats the easiest place to start.

probably bad spark plugs. how many miles you have on the car now? When did you changed your spark plugs? if not, you need to replace them. Do all 6 instead of just 1.

Check the plugs. All of them, to get a picture of what's going on. Runnin rich or burning oil? Post pics if you don't know what to look for.

Make sure you're getting spark

compression test on all cylinders

If all is well, i'd look at the injectors.
