My wife's 2000 honda accord v6 will crank and hit about 1000 RPM's and then stall. I got it to Autozone and they read the OBD II codes and they all said cylinder misfires. I bought some spark plugs and wires (they are being shipped to arrive in the morning). I then called another parts store and they said my car doesn't have spark plug wires or a distributor cap. If I replace the spark plugs what else should I replace at the same time?
Can anyone help?

In my opinion, (and we all know how opinions are) you really should get the car to a shop you feel comfortable with and let them diagnose the car properly, and let them repair it...

It's highly unlikely that you have spark plugs causing your stalling issue.
The misfire codes are more than likely a symptom of another problem.
2000 model year V6s seem to have issues with fuel delivery problems, they aren't super common but I've had a few with injector issues.
The car needs to be properly diagnosed and tested. Not scanned and swagged by autozoo.

I changed the spark plugs today. They needed to be changed anyway.
My next question is how do I test Ignition Coils and Fuel Injectors to make sure they are ok? I don't want to replace all 6 if I don't have to.
