Default New and Need HELP :)

hi, i'm new to this site, and the world of mustangs in general . . . this is my first one. and sadly . . . i must admit . . . i know NOTHING about cars. Here's the problem: my service engine soon light is on, ran the diagnostics, came back "misfire cylinder 1", now my car has new wires, new spark plugs, and a new coil pack . . . any ideas what it could be? and/or how much it may end up costing me to get fixed? it runs fine, shakes a little though, both while driving and in park, but idles normal. Im confused. Would greatly appriciate any pointers.

thnx

Get the timing checked i would say, it could be out of timing slightly causing it to misfire that's about the only idea I could come up with off hand.

Timing belt can vary and the price of having it fixed can depending how much it's off.

what year and model is it? sounds like a gap issue on the plugs,check and make sure all your wires are making good connection.
