My car listed above LX started to idle rough and had no power. It began to smoke too. I checked it out with my OBDII tester, and it stated that I had a misfire on my #3 cylinder. I changed my spark plugs and it continued. I then rotated my ignition coils to see if the code changed to the other cylinder. I checked and it continued to read misfire in the #3 cylinder. After each retest, I deleted the code and started over. It is running better, but it isn't right. Where do I go now? Thank you.

These only leave low compression, or the fuel injector is bad. here are two guides to help you test the compression and fuel injector with instructions below on how to remove the fuel injector on your car.
