I just replace all 6 spark plugs and the car still runs rough when I step on the gas paddle. By the way, I'm from canada so we go by kilometre 160,000. Also I replace all 3 coils in the back as well. engine light came on and it says "service engine soon". I have no idea what's wrong with it now? Thanks for the reply. Any ideas would be much appreciated

I plug OBD2 scanner in and it read P0300 multiple misfire. I just check all the coil and every coil is in good working condition. I don't seem to know what is wrong with it. Any body have any advice??

Finally found the problem of p0300. I went to diagnosed at a near by mechanic shop and the scanner put out a code P0301. So the misfire was in cylinder 1 and I found out it was the injector. I took it out and have the same mechanic shop serviced it. Now the car is running at 100%. With the new coils and plugs, the car is performing at its best. Hope this help the next person with the same problem.. Thank you
