My 2002 Suzuki Esteem was misfiring on 3 of the 4 cylinders. I replaced the spark plugs but it still shows it is misfiring. It doesn't have regular wires for the spark plugs. I don't have the money to replace everything. I need to know if I need new wires and possible ignition coil. The car seems to start ok and drive fine sometimes and other times it struggles to accelerate especially going up a hill. Please help.

Misfiring can be caused by the following:

1.Defective spark plug
2.Inadequate spark/coil,defective spark plug wire.
3.Lack of compression
4.False air leakage.
5.Faulty fuel injectors.
6.Insufficient fuel pressure.
7.Contaminated fuel.
8.EGR valve that is leaking.
9.Oxygen sensors.
