Sometimes, not always, my 2001 XJ will misfire very badly for about 5-20 seconds upon starting. It usually happens when the engine is very hot, like after highway driving for hours, then will go away and it acts like nothing ever happened. Check engine light will come on during misfire, and the reading says that cylinder 3 is misfiring. I have replaced all fuel injectors, spark plugs, and the ignition coil. Nothing has worked so far. My mechanic said I might have a "weak cylinder" which i really hope is not the case bc I don't have the time or money right now and don't plan on overhauling this thing for at least a few years. Might even replace the engine eventually. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated (especially ones that involve cheap solutions).
