Refit filter, put remainder in tank and take it for a run. To double check you could swap no3 injector with one other and see if black plug follows the injector.
Ok thanks, will give it a try, would you recommend Redex or is there another one I should try ?
When requesting help of a technical nature, please give as much detail of the fault as possible along with details of exact model, engine size & type, gearbox, year, mileage, and any relevant work carried out to try to solve the problem to help us help you.
Better still, put the details in your signature.
Ok thanks for your help with all of the problems, managed to get hold of a spare coil pack to try today and it worked! Car seems to be running fine. I couldn't get hold of any Forte, got a bottle of Wynn's just incase.
Only problem is the engine management light is still showing on the dash, does that mean there's still a problem somewhere else ?
Give it time. You've probably just got some residual unburnt hydrocarbons in the exhaust system from the misfire which the lambda sensor(s) are picking up. A couple of decent runs getting the engine and exhaust up to normal operating temperature should see these burnt off over the next few days of normal regular motoring. The warning light should then go out.

Ok thank you for the reply, I did mean to say the emission control warning list as well.
