Some Hyundai Sonata owners report experiencing a persistent cylinder 3 misfire issue despite replacing various components. These owners often find that inspecting the spark plug for wear or damage is crucial, as a worn spark plug may need replacement. Additionally, testing the ignition coil for proper functionality is essential, as a malfunctioning coil can contribute to the misfire. Some owners also discover that examining the fuel injector for blockages or malfunctions can help, with cleaning or replacing the injector potentially resolving the problem. If the misfire continues, inspecting the wiring to the spark plug is recommended, as faulty wiring could be a contributing factor. For those still facing issues after these steps, further diagnostics, including checking for vacuum leaks and testing sensors, may be necessary to identify the root cause and restore optimal engine performance.
