So I was driving to a friends house yesterday, 7/29, after visiting my house to start moving stuff out after a fire. She was running great all day, as I had to drive bags of warm food from my fridge/freezer to a local dump, and all of a sudden, about half way there, she starts sounding like she wants to stall and the CEL is flashing. I run the trouble codes on my tablet and had a code for multiple misfires and cylinder 1 & 6. I know I pushed her hard last Wednesday, 7/24, when I got the call about the fire trying to get home, so I thought maybe I had knocked some crud loose in the lines, so I put $10 of Top Tier with some Lucas in. By the time I got to my friends about 10 miles later, I was up to 3 misfires, 1,5 & 6.
The coils and plugs were done at 128,000 and she's at 136,000 now. NGK plugs and I forget who the coils were, but someone reccomended them here. The only problem was a transient cylinder 2 misfire(about once a month), which always cleared itself and never triggered the light. I had swapped the 2 & 1 coils, anyway, just to be safe.
I probably shouldn't have kept driving her, but my brain is all over the place this past week and I just wanted to get to my destination. I drove it a few miles this morning and it's at my regular mechanics now. I'm a mess, b/c she's my only vehicle, and I need her to get back and forth to work.
Any ideas?
