My car was misfiring and I didn't know why. it also stalled and didn't start up at all. I took it to the car place and he did a complete in depth look at the car costing me 200 dollars alone and he cleaned all my wires to find out my PCM unit was shot! he gave me a discount on it, due to me being a normal customer. Normally it would have cost over $1200.
I bought my car in 2007 and it had 38000 miles on it. Now it has 145000 and the thing is turning into a junk pile. In March the car starting doing a little missing. Then on March 23 just before I was supposed to go out of town the car did a hard miss-fire and the check engine light came on. Gave an error code of a drive shaft sensor. Those were replaced and the miss-fire went away for one day and then came back same code and same problem.
So I was told that it could be computer or coil pack. Coil pack is cheaper so we replaced that, did not do anything. Now when it does the multi miss-fire, same code. While driving down interstate at 70 mph you have to pull off interstate before you get run over because car losses all power and does a bunch of miss-fires and you feel like your on a horse going down a rough hill. Monday when it did this I cut the air condition off but guess what, it did not go off. I think the car is possessed. but I can't keep putting money into this thing.
