Have you replaced your spark plugs and coil packs? Has it helped misfires, if any? Do you have any tips? Did this guide help?

Thanks for producing this job instruction. I lost two of my coil packs using a battery charger a couple of years ago. I'm retiring in a few weeks and will finally have time to enjoy my Cayman. Advice note: Never ever use the start engine setting on a battery charger.

Great advice! I’ll add that to the pinned comment. Glad to help

[@stampedetrail2003]

I did this exact same thing last year, cleared up a misfire, and it ran great for a good two weeks before fouling again.

[@RuslanVideoFilms]

Responded to the other comment 🙂

[@dcanon]

Do you need to disconnect the battery for this job?

[@RuslanVideoFilms]

No. I wouldn’t try to start the car though. 😛

[@19lol19]

[@RuslanVideoFilms]
