- Cylinder misfires can be damaging to any Porsche engine. These misfires are commonly associated with cracked or malfunctioning coil packs. Jake Raby demonstrates the tools needed and the step-by-step process of replacing these vital parts before serious damage occurs to Porsche engine.
My mechanic just recommended I replace these to the tune of almost $1k. Needless to say I’ll be attempting them myself. So this couldn’t have come at a better time. Thanks.
i like the approach you're taking now since most people that have these cars now are not dentist but enthusiasts
Excellent tutorial Jake. 100% correct on all you said. My ‘06 Cayman had 6 new coil packs fitted by an independent but later showed a misfire on 4, plus engine warning light.🤯 Checked by a different garage, resulting in removing a badly fitted coil pack which had snapped off a big chunk at the connector end. Every time I hit a rough road surface, misfiring occurred because of poor connection just as you said. Subscribed for more first class explanations.🇬🇧
Outstanding Video ! Jake !! Remember a few years ago when I called you about my miss fire. It was the #1 Coil Pack. At your suggestion , I replaced all 6 ,, No problems since!
I wandered around the net for a while looking for a clear view to R & R spark plugs on my 03 Carrera. I got a cyl misfire code on #1 last night, so figure I'm heading this direction. The lack of camera access to cylinder 4 glosses seems to gloss over the widely reported difficulty of access and why everyone else seems to wander down the rabbit hole of exhaust removal. Raby even does it with the wheels on! Gotta love having a lift. Thanks for giving me more confidence to do this plus the spark plugs while I'm at it.
About time for a full engine rebuild step by step ;-)
Thanks for the video, was very helpful. Got all 6 coils out without wheel or muffler removal. Half way through the job, hope the coils go back as just as easy and this fixes the misfire.
Thank you! One of my plugs wasn't connected hence why I had misfires.
Shaking at idle with no codes also possible? Have a broken tab on one coil connector I'd like to replace to see if that fixes it....are connectors also replaceable with the engine in the car?
Hi . I have a 1999 boxster 2.5 litre. codes im getting are misfires on cylinders 4 5 and 6. I found that the exterior of coil number 4 has cracks in it. Also getting 02 code saying " O2 sensor ahead of catalytic converter. cylinder (4 to 6)" . Any ideas. Thanks
You mention that the coil packs should be (proactively) replaced periodically...How often would you suggest?
Thanks Jake. How easy to remove the coil pack #4 without removing the wheels, muffler and bumper? I have a 06 997.1 C4S that I plan to replace the spark plugs soon.
Great video. What is the torque setting for the coil packs?
Why aren't you replacing the spark plugs while you're there?
What causes these Coil packs to crack like that
Is the 0300 a generic misfire code while the P0302, P0304... Refer to which cylinder the misfire is specifically on?
Hi a thank you so much Jake! Sorry about my poor American. Can you please confirm me a coil pack problem with this videos:
