Yesterday I drove my car to church and it got there fine... It's fine on gas... fine on oil (doesn't leak... as you know :P). ...but when I got in and tried to start it to get home... it just kept turning over but never started.
Since I bought the car a few months ago I've had no problems at all except that it's thrown a couple of codes. I got one code on the drive home (it was a misfire... and it only happened because I "christened" the car by going 100)... and the 2nd one more recently, which quickly went away (I don't know what the code was for).
I suspect bad plugs/wires/coil packs. Would this make sense considering the misfire and the trouble starting the car?
I've been wanting to replace plugs, wires, and coil packs anyway because of the misfire but now it's a necessity that I get it working.
The mechanic here (AC Delco) is wanting to charge me 60 bucks to run compression checks and stuff... but should I just tell them to forget it and replace the plugs/wires/coil packs?
I'm going to get a friend to drive me back to church later today to see if I can't get the darn thing started.
Thanks :)
Also, what is a reasonable price for getting new plugs, wires, and coil packs as well as the installation?
