Need help

On Friday night I took off casually from a red light and the car threw the Drivetrain Malfunction error.

The shop ran the diagnostic and got the following codes. Anyone familiar or know what the issue could be? Is it a cylinder or injector issue?

What's your mileage?

Have the spark plugs ever been changed?

I just ran into a the same problem on cylinder 6. Was able to diagnose a bad coil pack. Probably something similar for you. Hopefully.

Yeah it was a bad coil on cyl 8. Ended up replacing all 8 coils. I had plugs changed last year so I didn't get new plugs since the current plugs looked new.
