I have a 2000 ford windstar with 99,000 miles. It is a 6 cylinder van and I brought it to the shop because my engine light is on, I had a tune up and the light is still on because they say I have a misfire cylinder#3. Please tell me the cheapest way to fix this or tests I can do to see what the problem is

The shop that did your work should fix the problem for you if not there not much of a shop. And I wouldn't go back there. A bad coil, wire, or plug could be the problem. But just saying that you have a V6 engine is not really enough info you need to state liter like is it a 3.8, 4.0, 3.0 and so on the reason for this is some of these engines had headgasket problems and water in a cyclinder can cause a misfire. All these things need to be checked. 8) NOS
