I changed the wires too, no help. the car parts guy said it might be the coil pack. Is this common for this to happen?

try switching your #3 plug and wire with another cylinder to verify they are good-next step is still spark, which would be your coil. also double check that you plug is threaded properly and that the ignition wire is firmly attached to the plug (sometimes if the plug is not seated correctly, you will get misfires) you didn't mention if you have individual coils for each cylinder of if you have a distributor cap. more details will help trouble shoot where you are headed.
all very easy to do yourself-don't freak out with above post, those prices are over the top-individual coil paks are $15-$30 at checker/autozone/o'reilly etc.

I just had that problem three days ago and it cost big bucks to fix. Mine was a miss on cylinder two that needed a new "ignition coil assembly" for $138 in parts cost, along with a set of spark plugs, replacement ignition wiring. Including labor, that was an outrageous $700 at car dealer. They also found a broken valve spring in that cylinder contributing to problem that luckily was covered for free by extended service policy.
If you get the electrical parts and do your own labor that will cut down the cost of the electrical problems significantly. If the problem remains after that, then you have some additional costs for labor of taking engine head off which you are probably not going to do yourself.
