Those things boogles my mind too.
A fellow just bought a 986, did the PPI all the while the CEL was on. He bought it anyway without knowing the code(s) and knowing the CEL was lit, he drove a "lenghty" trip home. It was bought from some kind of dealer, he didn't say whom or what kind of dealer (maybe Joe's used cars). To my mind, had it been simple the "dealer" would have solved it first.
In my head i'm thinking wtf. I don't get it, I guess thier pockets are deep.

I am continually amazed at the number of people who run their cars or try to limp them home when encountering engine issues. This car is known for them and if mine ever died, the first thing I would do is call AAA for a tow rather than try to run it not knowing what the issue(s) might be.

I wouldn't run the car until I had the codes read and was more sure it relates to your earlier issues, you could seriously compound the difficulties (and $$) if you did.
