Ok, my car seems to "bog" down when i'm driving normally. Loses power, and even if i push the pedal to the floor, it doesn't help, and doesn't accl. I know that i have 2 cylinders misfiring, and 2 of my O2 sensors are bad. I also think i have a bad ground b/c my lights dim in and out when i'm sitting at a stop light, and i had the alternator checked, it was ok. So could any of these things be the problem? Or could it be something else?

sorry, its a 1997 not 2007

Or could it be something else? could be several things what size of engine ?. the miss fire can be caused by bad plugs and wires ,fuel filter will lso do this

If you know that you have two cylinders misfiring and 2 bad o2 sensors ,
need to start by fixing what you know is wrong at 1st


check spark plugs ,wires and coil
replace if needed
check injectors
do a compression test
