Well today i was on my way to school. When all of a sudden my car just shut off. Then my check engine light came on, waited about 30min then tried to start the car again and it would crank over then it would die. Well i had it towed home, then i turned it over again and everything was fine. Idled fine, drove fine, everything.
But my CEL was still on, got it checked out and the code said Random Multiple Cylinder Misfire.
What could be the problem?

i think that was some of the problem. For some reason i think the wires is what caused my coil to burn out. I put new stock denso plugs in and the stock wires. Drove for about 15 min and it happened again. So now i know it has to be the coil.
Does anybody know where i can get ahold of somebody at sparko and let them know what happened so that maybe i can get a refund.
