Default Re: Misfire on cylinder 3

Power comes back and zero issues, so it's either there or it's not, no middle ground.
Having the same issue with cylinder #3..Started pulling codes right after I let the tank go low.....have put some injector cleaner through it but think I'm going to suffer with this until I get more mileage on it....Hoping this tank will flush things out...Going to pull the plugs and check for any crap on them.....Thanks to Woody for that article...
Have to drive to Nova Scotia soon and want this fixed beforehand...
