My car has 104000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.

The code P0353 on this after you only had misfire codes and you changed the coil and plugs on cylinder number 3. You should disconnect cylinder coil and check connector and pins in coil are not damaged and if they are okay then try to install another coil to see if you got a bad new coil.
