## Narrative
The car stared to lose all power and sputtering.  Then the check engine light started coming on then it would go off.  This has been going on for about 4 months.  One day it would run on then next day not good at all.  I changed the plugs and coils and it ran a lil better for about 2 days.  Not every time I put it in reverse I started cutting out and now I don't the it can idle at all.  It's a 4 cylinder feeling like a beefed up v8 trying to ideal.  I looked at my coils and it looked like it had been on fire  I have put every bit of money I could to try to fix it.  I just had tires put on too.  I pay for full coverage and a car payment.  I pay aot for this car every month yet I can't drive it.  I take care of my father that is terminal and on hospice, plus I'm disabled myself on a fixed income. This car is all I have and it my only car for my father as well.  Help pleas
