I don't have a diagram but its very simple,
The solenoid will have two large lugs and one or two small lugs.
One large lug from the solenoid connects to the starter motor only. When you purchase a replacement it will already be connected.
The other large lug will connect to the cars battery cable and two ten gauge wires (fuseable links) with large eyelets.
Only one small terminal is used. The one marked with an "S". Connect the remaining wire with the small eyelet to the "S" terminal of the solenoid.
Well, First i would have replaced all of the spark plugs and the wires, Then moved to the cap or rotor second, but in that case, did you check the spark plugs and wires, when was the last time they were changed? Maybe they were changed already and that's why you when straight to the distro? Is there a computer code for a misfire, or it feels like a misfire when it's running?
Not sure how many miles on your PT,but may be wire bad or not fully seated or bad lug on coil for #3 cylinder.Not sure if crankshaft position sensor would cause only one cylinder to missfire.Just remember that the timming belt needs to be replaced between 75,000 and 100,000 miles.My wife didn't know this.Well hope this helps,and good luck.
First 2 things i would check are first your plug wires. Your engine is telling you number 1 and number 8 are missfiring. Check your wires and the routing for the wires and next i would check the boots. If the boots get cracked or a hole in them they will missfire to the head thru the boot. check for routing on your plug wires. These engines will missfire if the wires are crossed. There may be a service bulletin on your engine for this. If you change the plug wires they need to be routed exaclty as they were before.
with a random missfire 99.9% of the time you just need to do a tune up. change fuel filter, spark plugs, wires and distributor cap and rotor button. this will fix your problem. If you have already done all this let me know and we will go from there.
p303 is a cylinder 3 missfire I woul first check the coil and then the ingnition module, Then if this dont work you could have a bad injector. If after testing and still no fix you should check the compression in that cyl.
