Ok, this is probably going to get moved and is way off topic from mustangs. But I didn't want to join another forum to see what could possibly be wrong with my wifes 2005 dodge stratus, plus you guys have been a big help for me in the past. I was driving my wifes car last week and it began stuttering real bad, wouldn't pick up speed and then the service engine soon light came on. Took it to advance auto where the computer read "cylinder 3 misfire". So I bought new spark plugs, put them in and the car is now driving fine. Wife took car back to advance auto today to have them erase the CEL and they're telling her that cylinder 3 is still misfiring. If the car is driving fine now, what could be causing that? Bad coil pack, etc etc etc???? Anyone have any ideas. Thanks for the help.

bad wire on #3 or COP..

u sure its the same spark plug as all the other ones?

try getting a new wire for #3 and see if that works.

Everything I have read is pointing towards a bad cop. I replaced all 4 plugs with the ngk iridiums and runs smooth now but is still throwing the code for misfire. Guess I will replace the cop and see what happens.

Wait... if u never cleared the code since u put new plugs then its an old code...if its running good clear the code and see if it comes back and go from there

Yeah I thought the same thing earlier this morning so I went and had them clear the code and it hasnt came back yet.
