Hello, a very common problem for cylinder misfires are the ignition coil packs, remove the spark plug and replace the plugs if necessary then replace the coil pack if the misfire persists, the #3 cylinder it at the cylinder head near the firewall and is the one in the middle of the head.

Just as a hint to diagnose ignition coil. note what cylinder that has misfire code. in your case its cylinder 3 located in a tight spot under intake. swap out number 3 coil with number 4 coil. (which is easier access ) and run vehicle if code changes from P0303 to P0304 then the coil is the issue and replace it (also easier to get at now). if misfire stays at cylinder 3 then further diagnosis is required.

99 toyota avalon replace engine and now Im told iy needs a complete tune up? They claim they use the old ones,to include wires. Should that have being done with the instalation of the motor? Its misfireing...

They should have replaced the plugs prior to installation. If this engine is misfiring, there maybe more issues than a simple tune up problem. Make sure all wiring harnesses are properly connected, no fuel leak is present. GoodLuck!!
