    A few days ago I got my car back from the shop, A few things that needed attition no big deal. One of the things I wanted them to look at was a chattering sound. They said they looked at all the heat shields but could not find where it was comming from. Also my car when first started it would run relly rough on start up but then would go away. They noticed what the car was doing and cleaned the injectors, Sence then I got my car back and now I have a check engen light that came on and when the car is under a load it studders and bogs down bad, when you give the car gas the check engen light blinks. I was told that a blinking check engen light was a misfire. I changed the plugs and the wires and it's still doing it. I'm unsure what else it may be. Can anyone help me out here???????????

    Thanks Brian

    the next logical step is to check the coils. I've had 2 originals go bad since I owned my car and your symptoms match mine.

    A new coil pack will run you about $20. There are three on our cars. The front one is really easy to replace, but the back one requires some disassembly or special tools.

    Either use a multimeter to check 'em [works sometimes], or swap a good one in place of one of the stock ones until the problem goes away.

    p.s. did they actually pull off the fuel rail, remove and clean the injectors, or did they charge you to dump a can of injector cleaner in the tank?

      btw, the faster you take care of the misfire, the longer your cat will live before it fails.
