Check Engine Light is on and the code is P0303

Upon returning from an 8 hour trip, when I exited the expressway and slowed to a sprre of lass than 50 mph. my check engine light came on. I purchased a Actron CP9180 AutoScanner to help me in understanding the problem. I read the code which was P0303, Mod $10 Cylindar 3 Misfire Detected. It also provided the following:

Global OBDII, Non OBD State OBD Check
Mil Status: ON
Codes Found: 1
Monitors OK: 3
Monitors Inc: 5
Monitors N/A: 3

I need help with what does these code mean as to what is wrong with this vehicle. The car is a 1998 Lincoln Town Car.

Codes p0171 p0303 p0325 car missing

p0171 = fuel system too lean, this means vacuum leak or faulty oxygen sensor

p0303 = cylinder 3 misfire

p0325 = knock sensor malfunction.

p0303 and p0325 - i can see these working together, if a cylinder misfires, it will cause the knock sensor to trip. I would lean towards the coil and or ignition module, along with a faulty oxygen sensor.

1999 jeep cherokee 6 cylinder engine light

1.Plugs
2. Vacuum leak
3. Injector fault
4. High or low fuel pressure.
Thats the list of things to check.
This is a #3 cylinder misfire.
There is also TSB about #3 injector needing added heat protection. This could definitely be the cause. I start at plugs and go from there.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Lee

Check Engine P0303 Code. Stays solid then blinks.

ok a P0303 Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected is a hard code meaning your problem is not intermetent,if you all ready changed the spark plugs and wires,the next step is to check the injector for the #3 cylinder,also if you can try using another ignition coil,check the crank position sensor and last try moving the plugs aroud to see if the code changes or if you get a new one,i dont think you will be stranded but the engine performance is crapy.
