Okay guys, hopefully this is in the right section- if not please let me know and i will post in the correct place. I have been a longtime fan of hondas and use many honda forums but never a cadillac forum.

Here is my problem.. I have a 2000 Cadillac Seville STS and it has a misfire at idle and also when cruising down the interstate. It also has a hard time starting sometimes and wants to die or actually does die out the first time i start it and i have to start it again. There is currently no check engine light on but previously it had a code for low coolant temp.

I have replaced the spark plugs and boots but the misfire is still there. Where should i go from here?- Clean injectors? coil pack replacement?

Also I have had issues with hondas that have misfires usually having a bad head gasket. Could this be my issue? I would like to get rid of the car asap if so.

Thanks for the help in advance.
