Answer
this could be anything to do with the cylinder on your car. The plug, the wire, the cap, or the coil (whichever you have.) your best bet is to do a tune up on thecar and do all the plugs, wires, cap, and rotor. if you have a coil pack, try to change those. this is all i can say for now. if that doesn't work, ask the question again and give a little more detail on how the car is acting.
Technically speaking, cylinders do not "misfire": the spark plug causes a spark which causes the fuel to ignite which moves the cylinder, so it is the spark plug that may misfire. Given that, motor vehicle spark plugs may misfire due to any of a number of reasons, including watered-down or low-grade fuel, old and/or dirty oil, fouled spark plugs, clogged cylinders, insufficient oxygen to the plugs, poorly aligned cylinders, et al.
It depends on the reason that cylinder is misfiring. It could cause serious damage to the catalytic converter.
Spark plug. Plug wire, or coil
It could, depending on the cause of the misfire.
It could just be a bad spark plug wire or the spark plugs need changing.
Worn, faulty or dirty spark plug; cracked or worn spark plug wiring or loose connection.
Usually a bad coil , or plug. if the injector was bad , the computer would have coded for it. But the cylinder 3 coil and plug arent that easy to get to. Its the one at the fire wall
