Q: Misfires 3 cylinders stalls
My car has a rough idle and gave misfire errors in 4 cylinder numbers 7, 8, 10, 11 with diagnostics. I didn't get any other error including the MAF. I changed all the spark plugs, ignition coil and fuel filter, and I still have the problem. I ran another diagnostic and 3 cylinders were misfiring. A reset didn’t work. My car still idles rough. There is loss of power in the car and it stalls sometimes at stop lights and stop signs. It starts back up right away. I had this problem 4 months ago but didn't pay attention to it, and it went away the next day. Do you have any ideas on how I can fix this?
