Exclamation Dying while driving

I have a 2010 chrysler Town and Country. It was missing on two cylinders and would die while driving. I replaced the coil, wires and plugs. However, it still dies while driving. I have a couple of lights that are on, a battery light the and the check engine light. Any help would be appreciated.

When the check engine light is on, fault codes are stored in the computer. You need to get those codes. Don't throw parts at the car until you get the diagnostic codes to guide your repair process. Many auto parts stores will read your codes for free using a code reader. A reputable repair shop will probably have a more sophisticated code reader but may charge you a fee. Once you have the codes, look them up on line and go from there.

Also what motor is under the hood? my 2 '04 with 3.8 motor use a clutched pulley on the alternator that likes to go bad and therefore not let the system charge. Once the battery goes too low it will do all kinds of bad things to drivability. But yes get the stored codes read from the computer as stated by dcotter0579.
