I changed the spark plug, i had the fuel line flushed. I changed the spark plug wires. Can you guide in the right direction, like towards the fuel injector or what else could be the problem? Thank you!

Vehicle: 2001, Nissa, Xterra SE, 3.3L

have the also replaced the spark cap and rotor?
 
if so you can check for intake air leaks, you can try to disconnect injector 5 and couple other ones and see if the RPM's drop as much as the other injectors.  You can also check fuel pressure (34 psi at idle)
 
if still no luck check compression 
 
Standard:
1,196 kPa (12.2 kg/cm2, 173 psi)/300 rpm
Minimum:
883 kPa (9.0 kg/cm2, 128 psi)/300 rpm
Difference between each cylinder:
98 kPa (1.0 kg/cm2, 14 psi)/300 rpm
 
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Improper spark plug
Insufficient compression
Incorrect fuel pressure
The injector circuit is open or shorted
Injectors
Intake air leak
The ignition secondary circuit is open or shorted
Lack of fuel
Drive plate or flywheel
Heated oxygen sensor 1 (front)
Incorrect distributor rotor
