Rough idle and EML flashing, coil packs?
Discussion
Hi there
Got my 911 nearly four years ago now when it was around 4yr old with 25,000 miles, at purchase I had Mike at S&C fit new plugs and coil packs as old ones had signs of cracking.
Now fast forward to today, nearly 4 years later with 30,000 more miles and when I started my car tonight I notice what felt like a rough idle, firing on 5/6 maybe and seconds later the EML was blinking slowly. I though due to heavy rain and cold maybe water had got in somewhere so left it to idle for a minute and low and behold the EML went out and car drove smoothly home without issue.
Assuming it's time for new coils again? Car has had new plugs only a few thousand miles ago, but not new coils.

Like I say never an issue before and it only flashes for about a minute whilst idling and was then fine. Not had any more issues since and it's being raining and cold, just not as heavy.
Still design911 had a deal on new beru coil packs and plugs for £240 delivered, so ordered. Shall get them fitted next week. Take no chances!
