I have a 2002 996 cab with 28.8k miles on it. had rear main seal replaced last year and everything's been fine until 4 days ago. i got sick and my wife moved the car two times in sub freezing weather without letting it warm up at all. Then the check engine light started coming on (solid not blinking) and the computer is saying take it directly to the dealer for service (of course) and the car started running very roughly.

i did one of those online question and answer deals with a certified Porsche mechanics and he thinks it sounds like the car needs new coils for the spark plugs???

anyone had this problem - this guy claims it'll be about a $800 -$1,200 fix. I have babied this car for 4+ years and cannot believe i need this done. the online mechanic says it "just happens with age on many older Porsches that are not driven a lot" HELP someone!

thanks Jeff
