I swapped coils & spark plugs around & that would get the CEL to turn off for about a day & a half, but it continued to come back on. After trying that 2-3 different times & the cylinder 3 misfire continuing to be the only code that would come up, I ended up having to take my car to a repair shop (a reputable one, but not the dealership because I've not had good customer service experiences at my local one). They replaced a faulty fuel pressure sensor which, again, fixed it for a few days, but the CEL came back on showing a cylinder 3 misfire code, so back to the shop. After some apparently intense diagnostics (I say that because it took at least a week), they called me saying that there was a crack making a coolant leak occur around the gasket in the cylinder that needed to be fixed/replaced. After them having my car for over a month & me paying over $3,400 I finally got my car back & so far, so good... Despite the ridiculous amount of time it took to fix my car, I still fell that they treated me well customer-service-wise. They gave me a free loaner vehicle to use the entire time they had my car, saving me a bunch of money because I would otherwise have had to get a rental...something the Ford dealership would NOT have done. All that to say, it's fixed & hopefully no more issues for a looong time.

Do you still have info regarding this? I’m having these same issues with cylinder 3. I’ve replaced spark plugs with all new OEM & swapped coils around. That fixed it for a few days apparently because CEL went off, but came back on 5 days later. I’ve put a new coil in at #3 & have driven it a few times, but light is still on. I’m going to try swapping new coil around to see if that has any effect, but it sounds like fuel injectors is the next on the list of things to check. However, if I can get the info you described above & take to my dealer, I can at least have them start there. Thanks.
