at the garage when i had my intermediate pipe fixed they had it on the computer.

were they not interested in further diagnosis with that? most likely the physical appearance will seem ok, (if you replace a wire/plug you should do all 4 at the same time. can't remember if the 03 had what is called a coil pack, or distributor, do you know that or no?

is it 1 3 4 2 looking at engine from front of car?

that eliminates a wire issue, either the coil, or computer controlling it, is my best guess....the coils are most common to failure :(

obviously it can be either. The parts store said to just get one and then find the firing order for #3

if you know your vin, vehicle identification number, the 8th digit, is it a v, or u? that tells me which engine specifically, so i can tell you

When they say the #3 cylinder is misfiring does mean the 3rd from regent when facing the front of the car or the 3rd cylinder in firing sequence?
