I am showing a code for misfire on cylinder 3. I have a Chrysler sebring with 2.5. Any ideas on why? Car sputters when applying gas but drives semi decent at high rpms. Kind of noticed the problem after driveing through a water puddle.

Check no. 3 sparkplug/compression/injector

Engine Misfiring can be caused by worn or fouled spark plugs, a weak spark (weak coil, bad spark plug wire), loss of compression, vacuum leaks, anything that causes an unusually lean fuel mixture (lean misfire), an EGR valve that is stuck open, dirty fuel injectors, low fuel pressure, or even bad fuel.
