Missfiring

Cylinder #3 is missfiring. Which one is that one exactly?
I understand that i could be the plug or the coil...any other suggestions?
Where can i get the coils for a cheap price, if i need to change it???

Thanks

I believe #3 is the center one on the side facing the firwall. Anyone out there please correct me if I'm wrong as I am not 100% sure.
I would suggest replacing the spark plugs but if it's throwing a code, my guess would be that the coil may be bad. I believe 99's are notorious for having coil problems.

Most likely coil pack

when were plugs last changed?
check coil pack with a multi meter.

If those two arent the cause it could be an injector.

happened to me last week on my #2 cylinder

if you dont have a multi-meter you can switch the coil with that of a different cylinder and see if the ECU coughs up a code for that cyl. which would prove the coil is the problem
