The car will stutter almost like it's missing spark or not getting any fuel. (Engine light turns off and on)It does this about 2-3 times a week.I was told it was an ignition coil that needed to be replaced so I replaced it. A day later the car stuttered again.(engine light back on) I took it back to the shop I was told by mechanic that the coil was fine that it could be a computer problem. A few days later my car made a loud clacking noise when i put it in reverse when I gave it gas the car didnt go and the engine didnt rev. I turned the car off and back on and it ran like normal. I then took the car to the dealership who assured me it was not a computer problem.I was told to replace the ignition coil and throttle body. Being that i had already replaced the coil i didnt feel too comfortable with their diagnosis and left without having the car repaired. I took the car back to my mechanic and had the throttle body replaced. A week later my car stuttered and again wouldnt move when I gave it gas (engine light back on)turned it off and on and car ran fine. Car is back in the shop and Im being told ignition coil # 3 is bad. HELP
