Exclamation 1998 2.5 Avenger ES

So here's the problem.
I bought the car with a known problem of bad fuel injectors- I fixed them, and everything was running smoothly for about 3 days.
Then, I started to get problems from the computer saying that the 3rd cylinder was misfiring. I replaced the distributor, to hopefully fix the problem.

But, now its idling lower, and feels like it could die at any time. I'm gonna try the Spark Plugs and wires next. any other ideas? ALL help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Change your plug wires and since you have to remove all the junk on the top of the motor anyway to get to the back three make sure to check for vacuum leaks.

Clean the EGR valve out when you have the upper manifold off

I ended up figuring out the problem.... it was a bad fuel filter.
