Default RE: car sputtering/ delay in acceleration

ok so I checked the wire and coil and its def. throwing spark to cylinder 3 and i think i'm spending too much time trying to figure out the misfire when i have a solid cel and its not flashing anymore just solid. The car runs really rough still can it be a dirty mass airflow sensor to cause that? I think i'm gonna get that cleaner to clean it hopefully that works idk i'm trying everything..

if its running really ruff i would replace the coils, if you don't want to take it in to the dealer to have them do a full work up to find the problem.. how many miles and have you replaced the coil packs ever. if not do it if you have it might be something like clogged-bad injector..

well this is weird because on the way home from work tonight the car drove fine nothing was wrong except the check engine light was still on its been solid for the past 2 days. The car has 84,000 miles and it still has the stock coil pack but idk why it ran fine tonight and not earlier today. I mean tonight it was pouring down raining and its been nice out the past 2 days idk if the rain had something to do with it cuz that would be really werid. But I'm cleaning the maf tomorrow and finishing replacing all the spark plugs too. Hopefully it fixes the problem.

problem solved cleaned the maf with that spray u buy at autozone and realized the air filer was 5 years old so i replaced that too and now the car is running really good and the check engine light went off. The car feels like it picked up a good bit of power I think that air filter was really bad cuz it was starting to get brown lol oops forgot to check that earlier haha
