You need to have a scanner hooked up to your car to retrieve the fault codes now stored in your car's computer. Some auto parts stores have a scanner that will be sufficient to provide you with this information.

The most likely cause for this fault is a failed ignition coil, there are six on your engine. If that is the case, a code should be stored that will identify which cylinder has the bad coil. Send me a private message if you need one at a good price.

Otherwise, post the code numbers that are retrieved when the computer is scanned, and the picture will be a bit more clear.
