A couple of weeks ago, I was on my way home from work doing about 70 on the highway. All of a sudden, the car made a loud POOF sound and then ran rough all the way home. I used Torque to get the code, and it was throwing a P0301 (cylinder 1 misfire), and running VERY rough. If I let it idle, it would die.
Fast forward to now, I checked the coils and wires for spark, they all checked out good. So, i decided to check the plugs. The first one I pulled was the rotor 1 Lead plug. It had been ruined by something hitting it. All of the other plugs looked good, just the one was damaged. I replaced the plug, and it still misses horribly and won't idle. I also get a multiple misfire code as well.
Could this be a sign of blown apex seals? The car has 127K miles on it, and other than this, I have never had a single problem with it other than longer cranking times when it was warm.
Thanks!
Here is a link to what the plug looks like http://ift.tt/1BrP3bt
