What do the plugs look like? Try gapping .015 short and see if the problem abates.

Hi
A faulty IAC would cause a random misfire rather than a misfire in a specific cylinder, as would an intake air leak, both of which would cause a high idle amongst other things.
Run the engine until its good and hot, disconnect the injector harness plug so the injectors are disabled, remove all the spark plugs, disable the ignition by unplugging the wiring connector(s) from the coil pack(s), and then carry out another compression test on al the cylinders.
If the compressions are now all relatively the same then you very highly likely have a faulty injector in cylinder 3.
Very best regards

Now change the distributor. Get one from salvage or e-bay. Did the timing belt jumped a tooth or is it new. Vitally
SOURCE: 02 cavalier with no spark on cyl 2 and 3
did u replace the wires? You might have power but a bad connection to the spark plugs or just bad spark plugs. just a thought
SOURCE: my wife caravan grand 3.8 has a bad idle ,one day
