well ive taken it to the shot for this problem several times. one time they replaced the catalytic converter, the next the ignition control module, then the coil packs. they said they had replaced every part that could make this happen, however it is still doing it. i really need some help here, i dont want to keep pouring money into it if they cant figure out what it is.

- well i figured out the problem. just before all this happened i replaced my spark plugs with bosch spark plugs. the guys at auto zone said that it would work just fine. it turned out the the spark plugs were shorting out the ignition control module. i replaced them with ac delco OEM spark plugs, and the problem is fixed. thanks for your help.

on two cylinder misfires and they changed catalytic converter in first place..firsable stop going that shop...
okey basically you need air-fuel and spark to get fire in engine..and when is misfires it should missing one of them..i saw they replaced only ignition side of the misfire and you still have a misfire..this mean you may have a bad mass air flow sensor it is sending wrong info the control module so it doesnt send enough fuel to get fire or something wrong in fuel system( fuel pump-pressure regulator-(fuel injectors are most posible) )
