I have had the car for four years now. Odometer reading was at 40,000 km when I got it. In the past one year it developed a misfiring that seems not to come to an end despite replacing the ignition coil, spark cables and spark plugs. Recently it developed a hard start and finally it wont start it just cranks.

You need to check for codes, and see if you still have fuel pressure, a good spark and injection pulse, can you test these items your self?

I unfortunately don't have a diagnostic device, but I'll check out those areas. Thank you very much. Will get back if I make no headways.
