Misfire detected
Hi all.
This is my problem few months back I did get the engine light on with p0303 code
"cylinder 3 misfire detected."
So I did change the spark plugs was nice for about a8 weeks and I got the same code P0303
again .
What is the problem car got 47000 m. on it, is this the injectors might need to be clean up .
Any advice will be apreciate.

RE: Misfire detected
Dont run platinum plugs in neons. They aren't recommended. I believe we have a write-up in the stickies about this:
Found in "The Official 2nd Gen FAQ and Performance Thread" thread.
Your problem might be as simple as the plugs themselves. Stick with stock champs (imho). If that doesn't fix it, new wires are indeed in order.

Q: What type of spark plugs should I use and what gap?
A: Use either stock Champion or NGK Iridium and gap them to 0.035”-0.040”. The Neon’s waste spark ignition system sees neither benefit nor gain from Platinum or “Split-fire” plugs. In some cases, misfire and premature spark plug deterioration can result when Platinum plugs are used on the 2.0L SOHC engine.

Go OE, go to the dealer and get a set. you'll be surprised they're not that pricy. I work as a mechanic, and i won't even touch any autozone/carquest/napa crap, you may be able to find a good performance set somewhere, but a stock set is the best bang for your buck. as for plugs, you can get them anywhere just be sure to get the champion copper style, under $1 a plug my cost.
