I have changed plugs, just because the old ones were very worn down, and swapped ignition coil packs but the issue always sticks with cylinder 3. If I pull cylinder 3 coil pack plug while it is running the engine runs rough. If I start it up the engine light always comes back even though I have swapped positions of the coil packs and cleared the code (Bluedriver OBD2 reader). Any thoughts?
Aside from the error code, how does the car run?  Does it idle okay?

Howdy,

Could use a little input from the experts. My daughter just bought a new to her 2009 mini base model. It has 132k KMs on the clock. It checked out fine when we bought it, but recently developed an engine light and the code being thrown is P0303 Cylinder 3 misfire. I have changed plugs, just because the old ones were very worn down, and swapped ignition coil packs but the issue always sticks with cylinder 3. If I pull cylinder 3 coil pack plug while it is running the engine runs rough. If I start it up the engine light always comes back even though I have swapped positions of the coil packs and cleared the code (Bluedriver OBD2 reader).

Any thoughts?
