I bet you are also getting a code of P013something.. This wil say that you have a bad O2 sensor on the 1-3 cylinders (passengers side). I know, I had all the same codes till about 2 hrs ago.

Sounds like you are on the right track. A pocket code reader is good for about 90% of DIY diagnosis and fixes. There are times when there is no substitute for a qualified and experienced Porsche repair shop. This is one of those times. Good luck with your car.

I plan on getting the exact codes tomorrow from the dealer but after having these exact problems, he said I had a general misfire code and to replace all coils and spark plugs. I told him to catch fire and I would register on teh 986forum and get some real research! Be back tomorrow with exact codes!
