Order the coils from advance auto. I just got mine from there a few weeks ago. They're about $25 a piece. Do the same with wires, although I dunno how much those cost. Where exactly do you live, I'm probably pretty close to you?

First thing to do is to read code. Reset the ECU to clear the code.
Then see if it it comes back.
Repeat again.
After having the same problem 3 times you know that you will have to fix it
Remember... having the wrong plugs in there can make it build up extra fuel and residue. That's probably what is causing your car to misfire.
