John....who replaced the plugs and what brand??? also you replaced the coil pack??? when you drive the car is it sluggish and feel like its missing?? if so I think you may still have an issue with the coil pack....did the code tell you what cylinder was missing??? your OBDll scanner should be able to tell you what cylinder is missing...if you replaced the coil pack you could have a bad wire...check out this post where this individual had a similar issue, it may help you!

P0303 is a cylinder 3 misfire. other than plugs, you could have a coil, injector, vacuum leak, or head gasket problem.
