Consumer Description

Had cruise control set for 75mph, and while traveling up hill, the car downshifted to maintain speed. After 10-15 seconds I noticed power loss and the check engine began to flash. Disengaged cruise control and pulled off onto the shoulder once I found a safe place to do so. As I was slowing down, there was a very noticeable misfire from the engine and was trying to stall out while still in motion. There was no knocking sound, nor was the car overheating. Once I was fully stopped, the car died and would not start back. Had the car towed back to my house. Replaced spark plugs because cylinders 2 and 4 were not firing properly. Also rotated coil packs around to see if they were failing. Cleared check engine codes but they immediately came back to misfires on cylinders 2 and 4. Did compression tests and found that cylinder 2 had 0psi and cylinder 4 had 20psi. Car was not low on oil and no other warning lamps were on.
