Need help with engine problem...
If I had to guess I'd say a coil pack went out again, kinda feels like it did last time when they recalled them. OBD II scanner is telling me a misfire on cylinder 3.
Am I safe to assume its the coil pack or could it be something else?
And which cylinder is 3?
Any help appreciated... thanks guys!

Clear codes, swap #2 and #3 coil packs, then recheck code after CEL ...
illuminates. If code follows the swap, replace #2 coil pack. Cylinders are numbered consecutively from front #1 to rear #4, #3 is 3rd from front of engine.
Might also be bad spark plug or faulty fuel injector (which can also be swapped), among others.

worked like a charm...
swapped and 2 misfired... the bad coil pack looked bad too, almost orangesh at the base, not white like usual. maybe water got in somehow?
either way... thanks for the quick response!
