Whether or not this applies to your situation or a boxster for that matter, a misfiring cylinder is a severe issue and i hope you are not driving the car anymore until it's fixed.

the obd is just saying that its misfiring on 3 cylinders when idle, its not giving any diagnosis. now theyre gonna check the catalytic converters.
at the moment im still using it yes, you think i shouldnt?
