The check engine light is on. The engine has a miss at idle and the diagnostic tool says its cylinder #3. I have replaced the coil, spark plug, and spark plug wire, but there is still a miss. What else could I try?

Check no.3 compression and 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.
