Persistent cylinder 3 misfire on the new to me 190k GX. Bought it in July and after 1k miles of ownership the check engine light came on. Only code was misfire cylinder 3. Replaced #3 coil and all 8 spark plugs with correct Denso coil and plugs. Fast forward another 1k miles and light came back. Same cylinder misfire. Performed compression test and found left bank issues. #1 at 120, #3 at 92 and #5 at 100. All others between 170-180 psi. Added Marvel Mystery oil to crank case, Seafoam top end clean and Techron in the tank. Fault came back a few hundred miles later. Going to recheck compression and preform a leak down this weekend. Thoughts? Having come out of a 3rd Gen Tacoma I didn’t expect engine issues from this era truck.
