1996 GMC Jimmy - misfiring

Hello!

I have a jimmy with the 4.3 liter. It's a 5 speed. It has recently started misfiring in cylinder 3. It started after I ran out of gas one day about a week ago. (Not sure if it's related)

I took it to a shop and they said it was a spark issue because it had cheap plugs in it.

I changed the plugs and rotor and cap with no improvement.

My code reader says my timing is -20 at idle and I'm not sure what it is supposed to be.

Weirdly, this morning, the studder completely went away for about 5 minutes before coming back to the way it was. And same thing - misfire cyl 3.

Any advice is appreciated.
