Had a CE light problem

replaced air filter
checked for leaks in air intake
replace MAF

all did not work
I found a cracked ignition coil wire that plugs into the spark plug
replaced that and reset the cpu

No CE light so far

I checked with porsche service guy and he said at 60-80 thou miles these coil problems are popping up more so there's a suggestion.
