Anybody any idea what the problem might be?

Should I invest in a Durametric to get the codes and therefore might I be able to do some of the repair work myself or should I just take it to the indy garage for them to sort out?

Any help appreciated

Meaning of life question "...Anybody any idea what the problem might be?..."
As mentioned earlier in this thread, need CEL to narrow down.
BUT my own experience - Twice this year I got the Check Engine, once with noticeable misfires. Strange thing was that the CEL did not stay on in both instances. My Scanner told me they were Pending codes - Misfire codes.
I checked the Coil Packs and found 3/6 with cracks. I replaced all and new plugs.
Don't know if that was it as I haven't driven the car enough to feel confident that was the source of the problem.
