My vehicle listed above (Laredo) started to miss. We changed the spark plugs, still missing. We then replaced the coil pack, still missing, then we replaced the injector in cylinder three, that is the one that is missing. Can anyone help recommend what to try next?

Good morning.

The very first thing you should do is perform a compression test to see if the cylinder is able to produce power.
