Default Misfire on cylinder #3...already swapped coils

Code: P0303 Misfire on cylinder #3.

Swapped coil from cylinder #3 to cylinder #6 and fuel injector from #3 to #2.

Shows misfire is still on #3. Plug looks normal tan brown.

#3 is the middle cylinder closest to the firewall I take it.

Any suggestions?

Did you clear the OBD code after the swap?

Is this a 330 or 350?

perhaps a compression test / cylinder leak down test is in order

You may have too much or too little air getting into the cylinder. Also a clogged injector or foiled injector would cause this issue. Compression test would be in order as well just to make sure.

Do those and report back.

I would bet good money you don't respond back and tell the community what the issue was though.

Yeah I'm not like one of those idiots lol. Couldn't believe how many threads on this forum had no resolution posted.

Muscle car guys ALWAYS come back and report findings.

Failed compression test. Garage said it's a burnt exhaust valve. GAH!!

Oh wait...it's not my car anyways.

So now it looks like it will need a complete rebuild. Head came off and exhaust valve is burnt but they think piston rings are shot too because motor ran low on oil....from rubber hose oil line failure a couple of months ago.

What a POS design.
