I just bought this car from a dealership haven't had many problems with it had the power steering resevoir cap replaced, new power steering line, replaced the valve cover gasket, and new spark plug....shortly after i bought it my check engine light went on and it didn't stay on always....it would be on one day and then off the next but now its on and wont turn off....i took my car in and the mechanic said that there was a misfire in cylinder 6 but he didnt specify what that meant or how much it was going to cost.......can ya help me? thanks!

Possibly a faulty coil, swap it for another cylinder and see if it moves to that cylinder, if it does, replace the coil.
