OK so I test injector resistance is ok but for £35 i decide to replace number 3,same fault!! (and i wonder why i have little hair!!) compression tests had showed fine on all cylinders (cars only done 7k). the fault eventually turned out to be the carbon evap canister (under os/f inner wing) full with water and also water in the fuel tank, removed fuel tank cleaned and fitted new canister cars fine (£850 later) i dont believe customer has had water put in her tank so suspect the canister takes on water over a period of time. £120 out of pocket on this job! joy. hope this helps someone if they get a vauxhall with cyl 3 misfire, the pipe goes into number 3 cylinder from the evap valve ecu see's water misfire and shuts injector off.
