I have a 2001 Dodge intrepid. 2.7 engine with 120,000 miles. The engine light comes on on says misfire. We replaced the spark plugs and wires. It went off but the car started chugging and the light would come back onsaying the same thing. We would bring it back home... let it sit and the next day its fine. It's fine going somewhere but coming back it starts chugging really bad. We took it in and they said that it was internal and would have to go to an engine repair shop. Any ideas whats causing the chugging??

Well If its chugging, I would take a look at coil packs, Could have one worn, It would cause a misfire, Also timing could cause it as well, Might want to get the fuel pump pressure test done, Also could have a O2 sensor acting up, I would try changing the fuel filter as well,
