If you are getting a #3 cylinder misfire, remove the plug and check its condition. Check compression in that cylinder, check for spark to that plug, and check the injector to that cylinder to make sure it is getting fuel. If the same code has not come back, check fuel pump pressure, for vacuum leaks, and check the idle air control valve (IAC),
