Porsche has quit making M96 long blocks, so used engines are getting pretty pricey.
Several years ago I bought a used 986 Boxster with a high RPM misfire (blinking CEL), the previous owner has spent almost $2k at two different shops who couldn't find the problem. He was basically done with the car, so I gambled and got a pretty good deal. $35 and 10 minutes for a new coil pack later I had a really nice little 986. Once those coil packs go bad, they go bad. Often times the first sign is misfire when wet as they crack and allow moisture in.
