#2 & #6 misfire + random misfire= Bad gas??

is this a symptom of bad gas? i have already called the gas company and they have opened a claim but i wanted to make sure that this sounds right before i take it to the shop. any input would be greatly appreciated.

Did you check your coil packs? I know having multiple ones go at the same time would be odd - and i do not remember which packs go to which cylinders on the other side of the motor...

well i found out that my wife hit the engine (while it was running) with high pressure at the car wash. i checked all of the weather connectors i could find and the only one with water in it was the TPS plug. i blew it out with canned air and unplugger the batteryto reset the codes. it still runns bad and has a cel.

Did you install them or them? If it was you, I suppose the coil packs came with them??
