My engine is reading the P0303 code and the person that read it told me it was a cylinder 3 misfire but it has read this three times in one month each time I've replaced the plug and this time the wire. If it still displays this code what might be causing this?

If it comes back, it could be a compression issue with that cylinder or an injector issue. Tell me, since you have replaced the plug 3 times, what does the plug look like when you remove the old one?

That leads me to believe you may be getting too much fuel to that cylinder. Confirm that compression is good and then check for a stuck injector or fuel pressure that is too high due to a faulty regulator.
