Default Help a C4 Guy (Again)

Hi,

I have a code P0303 (Cylinder 3 misfire detected) on my wifes Vortec.

I checked the spark plug wire, coil, and plug-all are okay. Is it common on LS1s to have a bad/or stuck fuel injector?

Thanks to all!!!

Steven

You may want to also check the valve springs.

I think it may be the #3 fuel injector as it looks like at one point it leaked. Also this is a 2002 Tahoe with only 25,000 miles.

Thanks to all that helped. Special thanks to YelloYello for emailing me all the code infomation!
