Since it's been about 18* lately in Wisconsin (no heated garage), and I'm tired of working on cars (just did a brake job, and replaced ignition switch on the Porsche, + new bumper/winch, fender flares for the Jeep) I took the Porsche into the dealer.
Leading evidence: 'Replace ignition switch' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'water getting into it, if you can stop' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check into it' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Car has 76,000 miles, I replaced the plugs (but not coils) at about 60,000.

I got home parked it, tried it the next day, ran perfect.

Suspected cause
The problem is water getting into it, if you can stop that, the coils will be fine.

I asked if they could price match Suncoast for parts, they checked into it, but said no.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all,
About two weeks ago I got the car washed at a touchless place near my house I've been to many times before. On the way home at a stoplight it started idling rough (at first I thought I might have blown an engine mount). The engine was shaking the whole vehicle. Under power, it sounded like the clatter of a diesel. Through a check engine light briefly. I got home parked it, tried it the next day, ran perfect.
A few days ago I was driving in the pouring rain from Madison to Milwaukee (about 80 miles). After about 60 miles of running great, it suddenly started running rough, and the CEL came on. I got off the interstate and parked it for about 15 min. Started it up again, seemed to run fine, but CEL still on. I got home parked it, and haven't started it since.
I plugged in my Durametric and got codes for misfire on cylinders 1,3,5. Car has 76,000 miles, I replaced the plugs (but not coils) at about 60,000. I believe 1,3,5 are all one side of the engine, correct? I do have an IMS guardian, it's no where near going off (it gets progressively louder with more debris) so no one say IMS!
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance and thanks if you read everything.
Oh, and I did search, there's some good info here:

Coil plastic casing is probably cracked, water gets in and grounds it out. Had this happen to mine. Either change them or cover the entire top of the coils with RTV. The problem is water getting into it, if you can stop that, the coils will be fine.
Follow up, because I hate when I search through threads only to find no answer. Since it's been about 18* lately in Wisconsin (no heated garage), and I'm tired of working on cars (just did a brake job, and replaced ignition switch on the Porsche, + new bumper/winch, fender flares for the Jeep) I took the Porsche into the dealer. They agreed new coils were in order, I had all 6 replaced. I asked if they could price match Suncoast for parts, they checked into it, but said no. However, I was able to provide my own coils, and pay for 2 hours of labor. That seemed fair enough to me.
