Default Cylinder 1,2,3 and 4 MISSED FIRE! Help

Yesterday, while I was driving on fourth gear around redline, I saw the engine light is flashing. After flashing around 10 times then stay on. Today, I check the engine code are P0300,P0301,P0302,P0303,P0304 and P0304. That is cylinder 1,2,3,4 missed fire, also random missed fire too. Anyone can tell me what happen and how to solve this problem.
Thanks!

That could be a serious deal. Take it to the dealer.

I don't think the cylinders got too lonely without the fire........

How about: misfire?

Do you mean 180 KPH? That is about 112 MPH. Bad things can happen to early F20C engines if run at those speeds for extended periods. Since you're not listed as an owner, tell us the Model Year of your car. If it's before the middle of 2002, and you were running for over 10-15 minutes at that speed, there may have been an oiling problem to the bottom of your pistons.

Also, make certain that your spark plugs are tightened correctly (18 lb-ft).
