OK, assuming you pulled the correct pack you have ruled out the coil pack as a cause of the misfire code. Check the next thing back in the line to the third cylinder. Is the wire ok, not cuts, shorting on body, clean conection?

Cylinders 1 2 and 3 are located on the right (passenger) side of the engine, which #1 being the 1st cylinder of that bank (#1 is the one up front, 2 middle, 3 back) and so on. Cylinders 4, 5, and 6 are located on the left (driver's) side of the engine with #4 being the 1st cylinder of that bank.


Anyone out there with a direction to point him to? What is the next common cause of a misfire if it is not the coil pack/plug/or wire?
