#3 cyl misfire

[73dartsport]

i have a 2000 malibu with the 3.1 and have a code 303. i've replaced the ignition control module,plugs,wires, and coil pack.i've swapped the injector with one from a differant cyl and the problem did not move,still a 303.using a noid light i checked power going to the injector and am getting power,at least while cranking.the car starts right up but runs rough and no power.have good fuel pressure,about 50 psi.something i found odd is i have a stronger spark on the #3 spark plug.any help/ideas would be appreciated.

You have mechanical valvetrain issues or the PCM driver that grounds #3
