Cylinder 3 misfire is the P0303 code. I would look at ignition coil before anything else. If your coils have yellow/green labels on top they are old coils and I would replace them all. You didnt state how many mile on your vehicle, but plugs are 100k and normally last that long. Coils are know issue and there are no wires as in conventional cap and rotor vehicle.
Unfortunately Cyl 3 is on the passenger side of the engine rear most cylinder which means removing the intake manifold to get to it. However on the bright side, while you are there, you should replace the lower breather hose. Your car will run far better after these repairs are made.
Hope this helps.

Doesn't change the fact that it is more than likely a coil issue.
The fuel smell however may.
You smell it from the exhaust? From sitting in drivers seat? Head under the hood?

I do not. But I know it is around $13.00
Just call the dealer and ask for the part number.

If the car hasnt had synthetic in there, I have heard bad things about starting car on synthetic when mileage is up there. Better to use a heavier weight oil.
