Pulled all the plugs and cylinder #3 does not appear to be firing. It does have spark when the plug is out. It runs the same if the wire is off #3 also. Nothing seemed odd when I had the valve cover off. Is it possible that I have a fuel problem to that cylinder?
could be your piston rings. i would do a compression check on each cylinder and then on two at a time.
