Car was fine through winter and spring, come summer, 30+ Celsius weather the rough idle came back occasionally when coming to a stop. This would be most apparent after driving on the highway.
Cleaned the throttle body and MAF, and car drove really well for 3 days.
Rough idle returned and was worse than it was ever before. Threw a code for P0303 cylinder 3 misfire again. Checked advanced multiplier and it’s stuck at .26 with the CEL on.
Car has catted UEL headers and OFT tune, any ideas what’s the cause of this issue? Injectors? Direct injectors?
Car is currently in the shop pending a leak down and compression test to check for engine damage.

Misfire worse when warm makes me think of a fuel delivery issue, particularly in the face of supposedly good coils and plugs.
Between OBD2 data and some time with an oscilloscope, hopefully all will be made clear by the mechanics at the shop.
If the miss is truly a single cylinder miss, it will make things much easier to track down (basically eliminate air supply and exhaust issues, anything with MAF, MAP, most timing, upstream fuel delivery (pumps, lines, filter), and most of the electrics).
