    I guess the easy answer is pull the coil packs for 3&4 and switch them around. If the misfire moves to cylinder 4 you know coil pack fried. If it stays in cylinder 3 pull the plug and check the gap again and look for fouling. Wile you have the plug out check the compression. If all that turns out ok then start checking the injector. Maybe its fouled or clogged. In any case good luck with it.

    Did you only replace 1 of the coil packs 3 months ago or did you do all 4?
