Hiya. Done my engine bay the other month with a jet washer....eek.  Ran on 3 for ages....... I would look at the simple solutions first before looking at getting your wallet out... As already said, maybe just a duff plug lead?? |

simple things first , swap a ht lead from number 3 to another clylinder then run car then read with a a code reader to see if the the non firing cylinder changes to another, what was the compression results . engine would be ok if the lowest reading is within 10% of the highest reading.
