My car overheated badly and is now misfiring cylinder 3
What is your question?
constant misfire but it still runs and drives but gets horrible gas mileage... help? how to diagnose i think it maybe a blown headgasket around it or possibly melted ignition? if you have had this problem or can throw me a bone feel free im open to suggestions also would be willing to trade or sell car
i actually figured it out i pulled the sparkplug and the electrode was fried also the metal bar that arks with the electrode was broke off so there was no gap and no spark replaced with iridium and gonna go through and check the rest of them. goes to show dont get all worked up thinking about how its this huge problem like i did and then come to find out it was awesomely easier.
Check the spark plug for that cylinder it could be a smashed electrode causing it to misfire! Doesn't sound possible but it happened with a friends car after it got really hot.
oops a little late I see but why not leave it as an fyi!

That's part of a compression test is to have a look at parts removed in the process!! Hope no more problems develope from this.
