I'd say coincidence .... Pull the plugwire and plug inspect the plug and check for oil in the plug tube ... do the wireslook old ??? stock ??? mileage ???
try reseting the plug wire and clear code and see ... Also could be the rotor or cap ...

put new plugs and wire on no change ...traced the wires for the injectors and none are broken on wore.... one of my buddys that has and 3.0 eclipse said that ur not suppose to take out the stock unit ...wat the funny part about the head unit is it doesnt work ...sometimes itll work then it will just stop ...the cd is still playin but no sound ..just makes a crackling noise...its the same with the aftermarket headunit i installd ...works for a lil while then just makes crackling noises ...does the infinity system have a amp somewhere that might be bad ....the more i look at this car now that i have it home the more i think it might have been in hurricane katrina...it has salt water rust on the bare metal by the fuse panel ....haha ..i think i bought a lemon honestly
