Backfiring and sputtering

Hi Tamee,

It sounds like you have a misfire related to worn out ignition parts. In this case it sounds like at least one but likely several failed coil packs. If you have a way to check codes I would not be surprised if you have codes in the p0300-p0308 range (Many auto part stores can read codes for you if you do not have the tool).

Here is a guide that will help with more info on this:

If you have a P0301 then that points to the cylinder 1 coil pack. If you have a p0302 then the cylinder number 2 coil pack and so on. I have included some images that show the cylinder numbers and coil pack locations. Please give this a shot and let me know what happens.

here is a link that has some tune up basics which include a video of the coil pack removal on another type of car, but it is basically the same:
