Car shut down while driving and won't start

This is my horror story.i had just gotten out of the shop after rodding out my radiator,cause i was gettin overheating prob. while driving aggressively up a hill. prob was solved. then the day after,on the beach side playing some music for about 40mins.tried to start my car, it gave me a slow turn over then start.5mins after started to miss fire.I parked it overnite,took it to the shop the next day and found out my coilpacks were burnt.change them and got it running fine again. i also changed the plugs. i drove about 50miles away before i got a little miss then shut down,cant start.changed the crank sensor, still no start.Wats my prob.please

did they disconnect your battery and forgot to tighten the power/ground cables afterward? some people are lazy and just pop the cables back on without tightening it. Those cables can come loose while driving.

What oil is that. when say misfire i mean the engine looses power. sounds like the coil is not gettin current. which was the case when they were burnt.now i see no vissible sign of burn on the coil.
