I'm not sure about these cars, but on the modulars, the plug holes can get water in them. Pull the COP for #3 and see if there's water or dirt down the hole. If you washed the engine compartment, that'll do it.

What happens is, a drop of water gets down there, start the engine, plug warms up, water turns to steam, shorts the COP to ground. Sometimes, the steam will expand enough to push most of it out, and it won't happen again right away. Let it cool off, steam turns back to water, water settles down to the bottom of hole. Rinse and repeat (pun intended) ;)

Standing in "front" of the engine looking at the accessory pulleys (standing on the passenger side) it'll be the "rear" most plug on your left side.

In other words, closest to the steering wheel ;)
