Q: Misfires, Rough idle, Engine Check light, and Engine not starting
My truck has trouble starting, really bad misfires, loss of power, Engine Check light, and rough idle. When I try to start my truck, the lights come on and everything, but the starter just doesn't kick in. It can take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes to start up. I was doing some research and read that it might be a ad ignition coil. Does this sound like the case?
My car has 145000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
