Ignition Misfire code.

yea.. so my car is running like crap.. sometimes. When I read the code it was an Ignition misfire.. I'm guessing its with the coils. I hear it's about $80 for each coil and I'm assuming there are about 6 of them. Do you really have to replace all 6 or is there a way to determine which coil is acting up to replace. I don't remember the exact number of the code and i heard that sometimes the code number will help you find out which coil to replace. The car stutters engine wise and it feels horrible to drive, so right now I'm not loving how maxy is feeling but it will once again revive!!!

Other weird thing is I pulled out the starter the other like 2 days ago and Maxy ran fine about 3 days. no stutters no engine light, no nothing. I know since the battery was out it took a moment for the light to come back but why was it not acting up for those few days. Does having the engine warm up a bit before i drive help to reduce the stutter in drive? Just curious about a couple things with this issue. Any info just let me know.. Thabjs

read the code, po301.po302,po303 etc. The last # is the cylinder with the misfire. If it's a 3.0 u might have to change all coils, if vq35 just change the misfiring one.

Don't the repair asap before it fouls your cats among other things
