Q: 2000 Avalon just had a head job done 2 weeks ago, car ran fine until this morning.
Started fine and drove fine to the store. Starting it to come home and it didnt start, after it started the second time it was rough. Driving home it felt like it was misfiring. Soon as i parked in the driveway it died. With the head job they replaced the spark plugs. Has a new battery about 4 months ago. Not sure what else could be wrong.
My car has 175000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
