I might drop by to take a look. My weekend country place is on the Grand River, not too far from Dunnville.

Plenty of Porsche parking available!

Looks like jumper is out. This evening my engine had a major problem and it's misfiring on cylinders 1, 3, and 5. The car won't be able to make it to this Sunday's track event.
Hopefully I will be able to get this fixed without replacing the engine, if not I'll be out for the season.

Was it just misfiring or did you also get some metallic rattling sounds? Solid CEL or flashing?

There wasn't any rattling noise, solid cell and when you give it gas starts blinking then goes solid again at idle.
The exhaust note sound very muffled with one side kinda hiccuping. Acceleration is sorta jerky.

It's over at Brents, coil packs and plugs checked tomorrow followed by compression and leak test if the coils are not the issue.

i had a misfire on 2 or 3 cylinders way earlier in my car's life (my one and only CEL).
replaced the coils and it was honkey dory ever since.

i doubt your motor is toast man.

Ha! Well, that`s possible. But first things first. Maybe a couple of cold ones on the way back from Dunnville for the Rennlisters who are at the track?
