I got the P0303 code for a misfire detected in Cylinder #3. I have seen a few different diagrams which contradict each other. Is it 1,2,3 on bank 1 or 1,3,5? Any help would be greatly appreciated. About to change the spark plug for that cylinder and if still getting that code and running rough I am going to replace the coil pack.

That’s the code I’m getting. So just trying to figure out where exactly cylinder #3 is.

As you stand in front of the car cylinder 3 would be on the driver's side, right rear of the engine. Under the intake manifold.

Thank you very much for replying back. I changed the spark plug and coil pack on the one you said, and check engine light went off and car is running like it should. I truly appreciate it.
