Default codes 43, 12...HELP!

jesus-malesus!! yesterday i noticed my car sounded a bit odd. a little gargly. a llittle tinny, perhaps. today, i was coming home from anly abut a 3 mile drive and the car started noticeably shaking a little, almost like, but not as severe as if it was going to stall. And I looked down a the shaky steering wheel an dthe check engine light came on. I got codes 12 and 43.

12 is battery or computer recently disconnected.

My battery has not been disconnected since about july. and I have started it well over 50 times since then.

43 says Peak primary coil current not achieved with max dwell time

or

cylinder misfore

or

problem in power module to logic module interface

Ya know, I dont have even the slightest idea about this frggin #43 or as to why it thinks my battery was disconnected recently. And i would like a little more information before i bring my (girl)self to a shop and get financially abused!!

HELPP!!!!

Code 43 usually means you need to hange your spark plugs and inspect your wires and coil pack for any cracks. Get some fresh cheap copper Champion plugs in there, reset the PCM and enjoy.
