How much does it cost to fix a misfire?

I experienced the symptoms of a misfire while I was driving my car yesterday, so I brought my car to the repair shop as soon as possible. How much should I expect to pay for the repair costs of the misfire?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
The cost of repair and replacement can range from anywhere between $100 to $1000, depending on the reason for the misfire. 
The most common causes of misfire and their average estimated cost of repairs are listed below:
  • Poor fuel delivery: $200-$1,000
  • Faulty spark plug wires: $100-$300
  • Broken piston rings: $1,500-$3,000
  • Broken valve springs: $450-$650
  • Oil-fouled spark plugs: $100-$250
  • Faulty ignition coil: $150-$250
It’s dangerous to drive with a malfunctioning cylinder, so have your vehicle diagnosed and treated before you get back on the road.

What Others Are Asking

Does the Chrysler warranty cover a rental car?
Our 2021 Chrysler Pacifica is at the dealership repair shop for a problem that I’m pretty sure was caused by a manufacturer defect. If that turns out to be the case, will the warranty cover a rental car for us to use?

Can you refinance a car loan with Ally?
I have recently been shopping around for a new lender because of recent changes to my credit score. I think refinancing would give me a better rate than what I currently have, and I’m thinking of going with Ally because some friends told me about them. Can you refinance a car loan with Ally?

Do I still need to report an accident to my insurance if no police report was filed?
