I would like advice or direction to get my car fixed properly.
These are parts that I replaced and not updated on my profile -spark plugs (ngk IX Iridium 6418) and Duralast gold wire set. The care ran with no noticeable changes. Two days later I was driving on the highway (idling at 55mph) when the car just shut off. I did not hear any noises nor was there any smoke coming from the engine. I pulled over and tried cranking the engine and it would not start. I had it towed home and started looking for the problem. The car cranks flowly but will not start. I pulled the sparked plugs and saw that cylinder four had major damage to the electrode. What should I do to diagnose this problem? I'm thinking I should pull the valve cover and engine head assembly, check timing belt and components, have a machine shop check the head for damage, reassemble if everything is okay.
