I have a 2005 Rx8 I bought for really cheap and it’s misfiring it says cylinder 1 I have changed all plugs wires and coil packs it’s still very rough , it won’t stay at idle I also change mass air flow , were to go next ? It’s smoking like running lean I pulled out front two plugs they were dry like they had not had and fuel on them . Could it be injectors ? Just ideas please thank you

Well, the absolute first thing you need to do is a compression test. Otherwise you may just be throwing your time and money down the drain. It could be a clogged cat though if it's running rough and had a bad ignition system. It could also mean your engine on the way out. Did you get any other codes than the misfire?
