Default P0303 2015 ford escape

Need Help!!
2015 escape with cylinder 3 misfire. Changed plugs, coil and fuel injector to no avail. Compression test cosistent on all 4 cylinders. Clear code and idles good, misfire starts below 2000 rpm. If I hammer on gas and go no misfire, but when drop down to about 25 mph misfire occurs. Electrical? PCM? Need any advice on what the problem could be. Thanks

The problem could be fuel or electrical.
Keep in mind fuel is electrically controlled.

We don't at this time know which until some checks are done.
There are lots of "could bees" and they need to be ruled out one by one.
Example,,,,, poor connection at computer for coil, injector . That possible poor connection could be anywhere in the line from origin to component and that is only one possibility. A lot of times it can be something simple, but it still needs to be FOUND.

Any good diagnosis starts with a good thorough visual inspection of wiring and places it might rub through , then come the plugs where pins can get pushed out of place and the list goes on.

Compression check good, checked all wires from the engine to the PCM, all check good. It is not the fuel pump either but for some reason it is losing fuel to the #3 cylinder. Anyone that has ideas please help! The car only has 100k on it.
