If the plugs, wires, and coil are all good then it can be a partially clogged injector, or low compression on that cylinder. It can also be a bad ECU. My cousin had a 99 Taurus with the exact same problem and it turned out to be the ECU which he had to replace. The ECU is very expensive so make darn sure everything else is good before you replace the ECU. It could be the coil has an intermittent problem and may show good especially when cool. You might try putting that coil on a different plug position, resetting the ECU, and see if you get the same code PO301. Run a compression test on all cylinders to see if you have good compression. Add a can of Seafoam Fuel Treatment to a full tank of fuel to make sure the injectors are clean. Check all wiring closely for frayed wires or loose connections. Eliminate all other possibilities before looking at the ECU itself.

Check injector on cylinder # 1 also do compression test. listen for clicking at injector with engine running if there is clicking then elec. harness o.k.next do compression test, if good compression, bad injector.
