I fired up my Ranger around noon and noticed it was shuddering and shaking. It's done this before but settles out rather quickly. While not normal, it wasn't causing any issues beyond the first 30 seconds of runtime so I never thought much of it. Well this time it threw a code, P0306. No other codes were thrown. I reset it and plan to see if it comes back. In the meantime, I'd like to hear if there are any common issues that typically work out to be the problem, (IE, if injectors are known to be faulty or the like). I did notice that during my drive it wasn't as powerful as it usually is. Other than that, no odd idle or shaking after the inital take off.

Also, does anyone have a cylinder location diagram? I honestly don't know which cylinder is truly number six. I think it's the driver's side, closest to the firewall.

EDIT: My plugs and wires were replaced within the last year, so I doubt it's those. Motorcraft brand wires and plugs. Air and fuel filter are still good, I'm sure. As far as I'm aware it still has the original fuel pump.
