So my friend is getting this misfire code that say misfire detected in cylinder 3 in 2 firing order. Code: 0029cf. He just changed his spark plugs not even 2 hours before. Any idea what the problem is?

Possibly spark plugs, make sure that they are iridium not platinum

Coil connector not all the way plugged in.

It could be. Once he changed them it wasn't misfiring as much

So it turns out it was a bad ignition coil

If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
