    All I know about it is

    It's not an injector(swapped)
    It's not a chipped cylinder(compression test)
    it's not a plug(swapped and gauge checked 3 times)
    it's not a wire(swapped)
    it's not a coil(swapped)
    It's not a ICM(swapped)
    also seafoamed
    and cleaned MAF

    problem is confined to cylinder 3 regardless of components

    the problem is intermittent at best nowadays seemed to get alot better after switching to 93 octane

    could bad gas alone cause a misfire?

    problem occurred after doing headers and plugs

    could a bad exhaust leak cause a misfire?
