you could have a crank sensor problem, or a computer problem. A cap and rotor would run about 36.00 cnd for rotor list and 167.00 cnd for cap list.

check the cap and rotor first.

I changed the cap and rotor already and notim thinking its the crank angle sensor..does this problem happen where the front 3 cylinders go out and only the rear fire up??

Thank You

usaly the crank sensor would only work or not work not intermitent on 3 cylinders. If you know someone in your area that has the same car try there computer thats probly your problem. If not could be a air mass sensor but they don't usally go bad.

Hope this helps.
