So on saturday I was chilling in the garage putting on my fender liners and i started the car to move it away from the wall and the motor ran fine. So I finished the liners and went to start the car and its running on 3 cylinders!!! I freaked out lol and first checked the coils and unhooked one by one and the last one when I unhooked it nothing changed and pluged it back in and the car is running fine again! ...Today i took the car around the blocks since I cant really go anywhere far (no insurance and no plate sticker) lol, and the samething happens but both times the coil was not unpluged and the same one again #4...Anyone know what can make this thing happen, are the coils going out???
