I would say to go to a mechanic with a really good code reader. The parts store variety is not good enough to really tell you what's going on. The cylinder 3 misfire is a common code that pops up for many reasons. Find a good reader. The 2 foot square variety. My mechanic reads it very cheaply. Even the parts store people sent customers to him.
