I was about 1 mile to mi home, drove home and plugged in my durametric

There were 3 codes


This is the first time I have gotten ANY codes

I did a weekend at the track a week ago and all was good

I have 74k on the clock,. Plugs were changed at 60k Just did an oil change before i went to the track. All the oil changes (4)I have done since i bought the car in March 14 have been good

Any thoughts????
I know this might sound odd, but i've had a boxster for 2 years that has run like this everytime i start it up.
Code reader stated cylinder 3 misfire.
We took (1) coil from an old engine that came from another boxster in our garage, and popped in a new MAF that we had bought a while back. This thing runs like a top now. The MAF is pretty expensive so i wouldn't go for that first, but i did both at the same time so i can't say what caused it.
