Yes the #3 cylinder is on the passenger side (right bank). Ususally I would think a bad coil would cause this problem but it sounds like you have already swapped it out. You could try switching the coils on the #3 and #4 cylinders and see if it will start the miss on #4 instead. That would tell you that the #3 coil (the one that you moved over to #4) is bad. Good luck!

Nope, #1-4 is from the front of the engine to the back.
