    Is it running rough? I always get nervous when I hear cyl 3 misfire. That plug is easy to get to, pull it and make sure it's not smashed.

    I'm with this guy.

    What are your mods? I'd check the tip of the plug...if it is bent...then bye bye piston.

    Yeah, I always get something in my head when I read titles before I read the thread. First thing I thought of was chipped piston.

    Hope for your sake, it's not.

    higher gas consumption is a sign of chipped piston isn't it?

    Do you know what a spark plug is?

    If so, look at your coil packs and find the number three. Then look to the wire directly to the right of it. (granted you're facing the engine from the front of the car) follow that wire and it will go to the spark plug on the front side of the engine in the middle.

    Find a socket for spark plugs (has a rubber grommet inside so you don't **** up the insulator) and take it off.

    Then stop being a tool.
