05 3.8 Cly. 3 misfire woes
Greetings,
First post on here, have many a dodge in the driveway. This is the only one having a real problem. It's an 05 Caravan with 70k on the clock.
MIL light is on, throws po303/cylinder 3 misfire. Misfires through the entire power band, including idle.
Figured it was time for a tune up anyway, changed all plugs and wires. Still misfires. Ran techron through a tank, helped a bit but now it's back to misfiring. Compression test on the cylinder was 150+ psi. switched wires even, no change.
I'm leaning (heh) towards a foul injector. Could be a coil but that should effect 2 cylinders (2 coils per bank) Upon looking around on here, the injector harness is common - checking that tomorrow.
It's a DD - the more it gets driven, the more the damage.
Need some help!

Found this just the other day. It's generic but most still applies. The info in the first section should be useful to most: http://www.diycardoctor.com/ignition_testing.htm
