Diag Code P0303

Hello, I am new to this site and I want to ask a question. I have been chasing a P0303 code on a 2008 HHR 2.2L, What I have done so far is: New Plugs, New Coil Packs, New Injectors, and New Intake Manifold and still getting a P0303. Any more Ideas?
Thanks

Welcome.
Seems you've thrown a lot of parts at it. Were you just guessing or have you done any diagnostics ? I would suggest a compression test 1st. If it shows cyl. #3 as being low, then a leakdown test to find the problem.

You have tried spark plugs, coil packs, etc like the OP did?

Had the same problem, dirty #3 injector. Clean the fuel rail also as Oldblue suggests
