I'm glad to hear that's all it was, and your car is back to perfect. If you don't mind me asking how many miles do you have on the coil packs? I replaced mine ~ 90K as a 'while you are in there' job when I was doing my clutch, IMS, RMS, and 90K service. What I found was shocking, all 6 were cracked, these are the worst two:



I've got to figure being low on the engine and somewhat exposed to the elements doesn't help the survivability of these.

The scary thing is the car ran just fine. I just figured at $30 each I should replace them while I was in there pulling plugs anyway.

Hammer, where did you get them for $30.00? The best prices I was able to find were:

Set of 6, Porsche, $312.00 at Suncoast
Each, OEM, $39.50 at Pelican.

My shop owner friend was able to order them from World Pack for something like $32 each. You might want to check with your local shop owner, they might be able to help you out.
