bad miss. The car also is? making a knocking sound in the front. I have had it checked out by a mechanic already. He has put a coil pack on it and done a tune up and changed both the spark plugs and wires. The car is still running the same. He also said that 3 of the 4 cylinders are working properly. He believes the car is getting ready to crack a head gasket. But it has never ran hot. The temperature gage has always stayed in the middle and has never went over but by a little(i'm talking barely over the middle line) and that was when it was sitting still in a taco bell drive thru line for a good while and soon as it did i turned it off and restarted it and the temperature gauge was back to the middle. Somebody please help me. Is my car gonna blow up?

Yes, it could be your head gasket, but you shoud ask your mechanic
which cynlinder does not fire? Also if he belived your head gasket might blow why the f*** did he do the tune up, has he not heard of pressure testing cylinders to see if you get pressure? what kind of mecanic is this?
