Hello!

I just purchased my first Audi (97 A4 1.8t Quattro, 118k miles) yesterday and i think i may have to fix the problems of the previous owner. Yesterday when I drove it off the lot the car died suddenly (loss of power, power steering, engine light came on, gas light came on, and no acceleration). I turned the car fully off and then turned it back on, and everything worked fine. Today when driving home the same thing happened to me, so at this point im starting to get worried. I took my car to Autozone and the computer they hooked up to it said i had "random multiple cylinder misfire"

What I have narrowed the issue down to is the ignition coil. It seems to be all I can gather from online and reading (Im not very car literate).

Does this seem to be the issue given the symptoms? I only have around $800 in my account after everything including plates and registration so Im hoping this doesnt break my bank. How much should I expect to pay to replace the ignition coil on my Audi (97 A4 1.8t Quattro) w/ labor (just asking for "estimate")

Thanks, would really help me ease my worries.
