Check your distributor cap, look at the terminal for the number 3 cyl.
Pull the spark plug wire while the car is running, arch it against the vc to see the spark. You should be able to hear it without arching it. Also listen to the idle when you pull the wire and plug it back in. If the idle stays the same when taking it off and putting it on, you might have a dead cylinder. (If you have spark to the wire)
I am in the same position with my CRX, a compression test will verify it all. Do the test and see what the result are...
