My wife called me saying the car was running badly, vibrating and nearly stalling out. The MIL was flashing on and off too. She did manage to make it home but said the car smelled like something was burning. When I got home I checked it out and it surely did run poorly. It sounded like it was missing a cylinder.

The car ran fine yesterday and got us to church and back with no problems at all.

I removed the plugs and checked them. All looked fine. I had recently replaced them witn Bosch Platinums with two ground prongs.

I went to a local store and bought an OBD-II code reader. The reading came back as P0304, cyl 4 misfire.

I think I'll switch a few coil packs around and see what happens. One of them could be bad or I might need new plugs.

I figure the burning smell was from the converter working overtime.

I'll keep you all posted.
