My engine light clicked on yesterday and I went to my macanic to get it run and the computer detected a miss in one of the spark plugs...Not all the time though...it was once...My macanic told me that it could have been a little bad spert of gas or alittle mess up by the spark plug...My question is if the light comes on again for the same problem should I try replacing the park plugs...I have 93K on it and I dont know if the guy before me did the plugs at 60K ??

Don't wait. Replace the spark plugs right away. If the Check Engine Light comes back do a Diagnostic Trouble Code readout and post the Codes on this thread.
