Hi Scotty I have a 2009 Toyota Yaris S automatic with 191k miles on it, and it is having a cylinder 3 misfire that I cannot seem to solve. I’ve tried everything, replaced spark plugs, ignition coils, air filter, replaced pcv valve, etc. I cannot solve it. I cannot find a reputable mechanic to diagnose and fix it so I’m wondering if I could ship you the car to use in your video?

Well that's not quite everything. It's actually what we refer to as the "parts cannon" approach which rarely if ever yields a good result.
Have you performed a compression or leakdown test? Tested for vacuum leaks? Checked live data for problems?
Well I'd check them out free but only if they're drivable. I don't do any kind of working on cars that don't run. They have to be driven here. I'm Presley and Portsmouth Rhode Island until the middle of July. Then I'm in Clarksville, Tennessee. Whichever is closer.
