I had to leave my car out for a few days in the rain, and when I returned to fire it up, it ran really rough.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello, just thought I'd tap the "collective brain" of this forum before shotgunning parts at my car. I had to leave my car out for a few days in the rain, and when I returned to fire it up, it ran really rough. I pulled the code and it said #1 mis-fire. I let it sit for a couple days and then drove it, and everything was fine until I was 10 minutes down the road, then same thing. So it wasn't water. Pulling it all apart, everything looks fine ( and dry) with the ignition system. Question: How can I test a coil, and are they a common culprit? Any other suggestions? Thanks, Chris

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah, I was afraid of that....can't just replace one, eh? Thanks for the tip.

POST 4Original post

Sorry to hear about issue. A Porsche only shop is the only option. Dealer or Indy. One coil would be available. Do you want to check the coil yourself? People will sell you one. Sounds like can diagnose if both fuel and spark are present, compression, and leakdown DIY. Has it always had premium fuel? Plugs been replaced? Have you ran Techron (or similar) through it regularly? Regards,
