My 2013 Boxster S has just started running like 1 or more coils are shot and this code is appearing intermittently. Can't find it in the owners manual, anyone know what it means?
Battery should be good, I replaced it with OEM in 2020 with the original still going strong. I just did it for peace of mind. I also keep it on a tender.
I had the dealer do the plugs in 2019 for time duration, not mileage (29,000 miles) but I did not have them change out the coils which was maybe dumb. Right now the car is running with symptoms of what I imagine would be bad coils at 42,000 miles and 12 years of use. I think I am going to DIY plugs and coils and maybe add the heat shields. I now have a lift so it should make this PIA job a bit less painful. Anyone have any advice about the heat shields and their installation?
toma nova, I'll check FCP Euro for coils and plug sets
Hi Meteor.. Don't think that a 4 year old battery can't be going bad. Even if it is an oem. I change them out every 3 years. Regardless of how they appear to perform. Less expensive than a tow. Cheap insurance.
the symbol means no start/stop which usually stops working if battery is weak. If you have coil issues, wouldn't you get misfires? get a scanner and check for codes and/or misfires!

I replaced my battery with a non-Porsche battery and also got that code. It just means your car won't Auto-Stop at lights to save gas. No biggie for me, I prefer my engine running anyways
I have always kept the auto stop/start button deactivated, never wanted to use this feature. I will get battery checked and get a scan done to see which cylinders are misfiring.
Thanks for all of your replies.
