If Injector 3 is the first to receive fuel then it makes sense that it would be the first to be affected by contamination. Swapping with another injector would temporarily resolve the issue but it will eventually return.
The cat code suggests that what's reaching the cat isn't what it's expecting to see. As you've potentially 2/3 of the injectors not performing correctly that points to either a contamination or delivery issue...
The two aren't mutually exclusive as contaminated fuel will make the pump work harder and will eventually kill a weak pump.
Run it more or less dry, drop the tank, clean the inside of it and replace the pump and pick up strainer. You could add new injectors to the list as a belts and braces solution depending on what you find in the tank.
