Unhappy '04 1.8 not starting

So I am new and i am not happy with my Nissan, It is such a pain that i would love to trade it but i would loose to much money on it. Anyway I bought my Sentra used and since i bought i have had starting issues, i can go out in the AM and it starts fine but if I drive a ways and go out to start it after more then 15 min it just cranks for about 10-30 sec and then maybe it will start. and then has been 5-6 times then it ust does not start, so i disconnect the battery and pull the plugs and coil pack, wait about the hour and put it back together and it starts after some cranking and pumping of the fuel pedal. then the cycle contunies. When i put it on the computer it only says that there is a missfire in the #3 cylinder. So can anyone help me PLEASE?!?:

Did you check the spark plugs and wires?

well if its a miss fire it should be your spark plugs, but with all that cranking it might be your starter.

check the battery. take it into a shop for a quick check. then check your starter. maybe your distributor and your ignition wires. take out your plugs and re-insert them.
