That's great to hear. I still think you should go out and play the lottery because the odds of two wires failing at the exact same time seems pretty unlikely. I've seen many of these misfire scenarios on the forum and everyone starts off by replacing plugs and wires because it's the easiest and most affordable thing to try but a decent percentage find their problems lies elsewhere. Glad to see the "Easy" fix worked.

I am wondering though if @LittleCaesar is sort of correct and you were really only experiencing a single misfire. I'm guessing the Autozone guy knows how to read but I'm wondering if the ECU reported a double misfire when it really was isolated to a single cylinder. Anyway, enough conjecture. Your problem is fixed and that's great to hear.

I was also wondering about the single misfire theory but didn't know if a single misfire would cause it to run as poorly as it did with the flashing CEL. Guess we'll never know...off to buy a lotto ticket now ;)
