First off, there is code that tells you ANYTHING needs to be changed. It merely advised of a specific situation with engine operation and a technician (which Autozone people are not) needs to further diagnose for the actual cause. They likely saw a misfire code and assumed the ignition parts would fix it. I can't diagnose a noise that I can't hear but I definitely suggest you stop driving it until a technician can accurately diagnose the issue.
