Cylinder 3 misfire ? 1997 es300
While on the interstate today a CEL came on, i went to the local auto shop so they could read the warning with their OBD diagnostic test. It says the Cylinder 3 is misfiring. I replaced all 6 of my spark plugs about 3 weeks ago, so if that has anything to do with it please let me know. I told the guy who checked the CEL warming i changed my spark plugs a little shy of a month ago and he just said that its more than likely a grounding problem...or a coil problem...is he semi correct ? What could it be ? I am a college student so the most reasonable $$$ answer would be best. Btw if it helps, my car has approx 165,000 miles on it.

I am not sure which spark plugs i installed honestly. Some type of two pronged irridium ? Anyways...i know they were not that "NGK" brand :/ damn. Before i change/replace spark plugs i am going to just double check the tightness of bank 3's spark plug first and make sure i have the connector on tightly. Thanks ! I will let you all know how it goes tomorrow.
