you have a serious problem. The general guidance is to not even run the engine but to flatbed the car to what you over there call an OPC and we call a dealer.

What you can do short of that is to obtain a code reader and read the codes through the OBD2 port and post them and have someone interpret them for you. Then and only then will we be able to tell which of the hundreds of causes the CEL could be triggered by you might look for.

I don't suspect a single coilpack but the codes will tell us more.

Sure sorry to hear of your problem.
