What is your question?
in a nutshell. I got a code 300 on the check engine which is inconsistent misfire. Shop said it was spark plugs. They wanted $230.00 to change them I said hell no I didn't. Change the plugs and wires and two of the ignition coils had already been changed due to failure on the coils part. Still got the engine code. What's been told I needed to replace the third ignition coil. Again shop wanted way too much. I pulled up to the parts store to get a new one. After having already taken the old one out cleaned it and put it back in the car store and I. But when I put in the new one at the parts house the car started for about 3 seconds like hell then died. Car is still at the parts house. It will not start it just keeps acting like it wants to what is either not getting signal through ignition relay starter relay or when applying the gas A vacuum noise Thanks is present like its not getting any fuel I need help not sure why it wont start.and sorry if this reads weird voice to text still new.

So you 'drove' it to the parts store, worked on it there and then had to get a ride home?? Undo whatever you did at the parts store, then have a mechanic take a look at it. It just might be the least expensive way for you to go!
Well given that a magnatude of things can go wrong with a car any given time. Coupled with the fact that the car has 170 6000 miles on it store and pretty good emma car wash to turn over but won't is it indication that it could be a great deal of other things not related to the ignition coil. for example when turning the car on and you turn the key and it just continues to no make that starter turnover noise but not actually fire up could mean that it is a starter problem starter relay problem ignition relay problem or any correlated fuse to any of those problems. Then add to the factor that it is fuel injected or carburated so when you try to turn over the car just started and you didn't apply the gas at the same time and you can hear the car wanting to start even more but seems like its not getting fuel that could be a fuel pump problem fuel filter problem fuel injector problem fuel line clogged problem. I'm simply looking for options to troubleshoot and run down the problem car won't start can't drive it to a shop Anto trucks here cost too damn much to toe 5 miles. my apologies I thought this was actually a website with people with real Automotive knowledge.
You were right with your assumption of this site! We do have a bunch of experience here. There is no way we can do anything but guess at what the problem is since we cant check it ourselves! A mechanic that can check it out hands-on it what you need at this point. How ever it has to be arranged. I also understand stuff just cost too much these days!! But if you don't watch, you may spend money you dont need to by guessing at it.
strongly agree with pushrod. what type of shops have you been to?
Yeah see that's just it. An ignition coil on this car is two screws and two plug wires. One would have to b brain dead to screw that up. Each plug wire number marked. And the fact that I had already removed the ignition coil earler that day to clean the terminals and reinstall it as it worked just fine to dtive around to integratie auto of a check, then to the parts house would usualy indacate that I'm not that auto stupid. So please unless you have a possable solution to the problem. Dont bother. I didn't post the question just so the local but hurt michanics could vent.
Ok, then how do you explain the fact that it won't run now? We did give you a solution to this problem. However it is at a parts store, so have at it! No one here is hurt by this, nor venting. Sorry you feel that way! And good luck with it.
