I bet you lost and/or disconnected the rubber boot on the COil Pack on cyl #3.

Take everything out again and inspect.

Yeh dude this happened to me. its real easy, un plug the coil pack for the one thats mis-firing, and check the pins inside for the plug. They bend extremly easily. there are 3 or 4 pins inside the plug for the coil pack, if one bends it does not go into the female end of the plug and bam there you go.
