Check Engine Light

The check engine light came on Friday - and a huge miss and loss of power. The dealership has not been able to determine why, but they tell me the 8th cylinder is not firing. They replaced the plug and wire, but still no joy.

Any ideas?

Just Happened to Me

My wife was driving the car and all of the sudden she lost power and the car stopped. The check engine light came on and the car will not start. It will roll over, however dies instantly.

Were you able to resolve the issue and how much did it cost.

I would go to the dealer and have them hook it up to diagnostics. Even if you don't fix it there, they'll tell you what the problem is for a fee. It could be a number of things. Good luck.

You cannot use 'free' and 'dealer' in the same sentence.
