Misfire after new spark plugs
I was driving the freeway the other day and I get a sputtering and a check engine light lights up and I check everything and nothing seems broke. The car will idle and if I am soft on the gas I can change gears at lower RPMs and eventually get home limping. Its been parked and I use my other cars in the meantime. I did a little searching and though the spark plugs must be the culprit. So I get home from picking up some plugs and change them simple enough. I try to start it to take it for a test and it wont start. any clue what I must have done wrong?
I just got done putting in a new driveshaft and though the sputtering the other day was the guibo bolts coming undone.... thankfully that wasnt it. Anyways, thanks in advance.

If you have access to a diag/code scanner, I would definitely start there first and see which fault codes shows up.
If you don't have access to one, I would suggest the Creator C310...it's very affordable. https://www.amazon.com/Creator-C310-.../dp/B00VSYZ2NC |

When I had the issue on the freeway I had my scanner with me. I don't remember the exact number but it was a misfire. I'm thinking/hoping the coil packs just aren't seated all the way and I just need to push/ twist them on further.

Finally got time to mess with the coils. I got all the coil packs properly seated and all the connectors are tight and in all the way. Now it starts but it keeps throwing a P0302p code. I swapped another coil in its place and the misfire moved. So in update I have ordered a new coil.
