The symptoms you describe along with the blinking Check Engine Light and P0303 trouble code definitely tell us that you have a misfire in cylinder number 3.
Your engine uses a coil on plug system. This means each individual cylinder has its own spark plug and ignition coil. If you haven’t had a tune up yet, this may be an indication that one is needed. Though the manufacturer recommends replacing the spark plugs every 100,000 miles, spark plugs are considered to be a "wear" item. Over time, the gap between the contact and electrode of the spark plug increases and results in a weaker spark.
It is also possible that the ignition coil or possibly fuel injector may be duplicating this misfire condition.
