The 1.0Liter engine in the car was running rough and occasionally the car wouldn't start and it was losing engine coolant with no visible leaks. I replaced all three of the spark plugs and ignition coils due to a misfire code on cylinder 2. My daughter drove the car back to college (approx: 90 miles) with no issues. But the next day the car wouldn't start so we had it towed to a local mechanic who analyzed the engine and determined engine coolant was leaking into the engine cylinders which had fouled the plugs and damaged the engine. The auto mechanic said the car needs a new engine as the compression is inadequate in cylinder 2 and there's engine coolant in the cylinder as well as in the exhaust system.
