Boxster misfire

[13JB]

Hi all,
My 2002 2.7 misfires when setting off from standing and wont puul away smoothly in a high gear without misfiring. The engine check light sometimes flashes and sometimes lights continuously for a few seconds.
The problem seems less severe when the engine is cold, I think!
Any ideas anyone?

What are the codes?
Have them checked and reply back with them.
Could be a number of things from bad plugs, bad cap, to cracked cylinder walls.
Good luck

Thanks, I am told the codes wont show up unless the engine light is constantly lit?

Codes should still show up. If you are lacking a code reader you can borrow one from an autoparts store.

Sounds like possible bad fuel pump or intermittent crank position sensor.

Could also be the coil packs.

flashing light is bad - don't drive the car.
