Why my car was misfiring on 3rd cylinder

Want to talk about a funny story.....Sat morning my car was idling like a helicopter and my cel came on. Did the standard checks, plugs, compression test,used a fuel injection cleaning system,vaccum system, test, coil. Acura was even nice enough to let me use a used coil just to check if that was the problem. Well it was still misifiring after all that. Went to take the plenum off to check the injector on the 3rd cylinder. Could you beleive the plug into the injector came loose????? Plugged it back in put everything back together.and the the misfire went away...the mofo is running like herself now. Took 2 days to figure it out but now that I look back on the frustration of findingf out what was wrong..its quite funny. All is good now..no CEL and thing runs even better now
