Engine Mechanical problem
2001 Toyota Echo 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 160K miles
Toyota Echo 2001
I got random misfires from my check engine light. So I changed my plugs. Still getting the error so then I changed my ignition coils. Took the car for a spin and it seemed worse. Then tried to start it up the next day and it wouldn't. The replacing of parts seemed easy so how could I have gone wrong? The car makes a lot of noise when trying to start, seems like Starter is fine, or at least trying. Tried to jump it just in case, no difference. I took the new ignition coils out and put back in the old ones, no difference. I hope the new ones weren't defective and ruined something?
Wondering if it is fuel/air mixture?
Also when I pulled the coils out again, i looked at the plugs, and they looked a little dirty? would cleaning them then using a fuel injector potentially fix my issue?
