2002 Toyota Camry engine light flashed and car stopped on red light and didn’t start. Fault codes read by OBD reader. P0300 - Multiple engine misfire, P0301 - engine 1 misfire, P0302 - engine 2 misfire, P0303- engine 3 misfire, P0304 - engine 4 misfire and P0420 - Catalytic Converter bank 1 . …

The starting, runs rough, and then ran fine upon a restart could point to a loss of residual fuel pressure while the car is sitting which could mean a failing fuel pump check valve. About 10 years ago my daughter’s Mitsubishi had a similar problem and it turned out to be the fuel pump. But keep in m…

I replaced all 4 spark plugs and replaced coils as it started failing. Now showing all 4 engine miss fire, I am hoping this is less expensive coils I bought it in Amazon… 4 coils for 50$. It started failing
