04 Caravan cylinder 3 misfire
Here is the deal. Just bought a 2004 caravan sxt with the 3.3l engine. Seller replaced plugs, wires, coil pack. There is a misfire code for cylinder 3. Took the van to a shop and was scanned, plugs and wires were swapped back and forth to make sure the issue wasnt there. Finally after a node light was used on injector 3, there was erradic signal so it was determined the injector wiring or computer is bad.
I split the loom from the plug at the back of the engine to the fuel rail. Tested all the wires for continuity from that plug forward and they were reading 0 ohms, individuall taped each wire for extra protection re taped the entire loom that I opened and re-installed the heat wrap. Still has the misfire obviously.
By the way the idle is pretty rough when in gear.
Any suggestions where to look next?

I did swap injectors. It turned out that both the number 3 injector and the wiring harness was bad. $700 repair...ouch!
