Went to go to lunch the other day. Fired up the car and it felt a little rough. Cracked a rev and it felt like it was missing a cyl or 2. Anyway, it didn't go away. Got home and checked plugs. (they have 300 miles on them) all were good except #3 which was completely fouled. Switched plug, no difference. Switched plug wire and that didn't help. One other thing i noticed was i opened the throttle plate with the car having been off for 6-7 hours and i could smell a large amount of gas. I checked the injector harness plug at injector 3 and it is sending a signal like it is supposed to. Also, i pulled the valve covers and the rockers are actuating, so i don't have a stuck lifter. Any ideas here....?
