check engine light - new coil packs?
Discussion
2001 996 c2
just back from service / thorough pre euro road trip inspection at good indy. All 6 coil packs replaced as 2 had small cracks.
Drove home 6 miles from service last week & garaged the car. Used it yesterday in rain, drove 20 miles to destination. 5 miles into return trip, the light comes on. Temp and oils pressure good/normal. Pull over check fluids visually - all good. No odd noises or smells. Shut car down, wait a few minutes and restart - the light is still on. Proceed gently home - car felt and sounded 100% fine - no steam or smoke.
I will take car back to indy tomorrow for diagnosis. When I spoke on the phone they thought it `could` just be the wet - but I have driven in wetter conditions with no sign of a light coming on. What are the chances one of my new coil packs is a duffer...?
