I started the car at night and looked under the hood... I saw a spark arking from one of the plug wires. I bought some new plug wires and put them on... Went to start the car.... wouldn't start -> dead battery. I got a jump... drove it around a while to charge the battery, went home, then the car wouldn't start again... battery tested bad.
I got a new battery and it seems to be running fine (no missing or low idle).
I week ago my sisters Dodge Stratus was doing the same thing... missing at around 50 mph. Put new plug wires on her car and it took care of it.
Anybody else have any luck?
