If it is indeed the coilpack, you can replace just the coilpack and it should be good for a while, but it will come back with time. I havent found a solution aside from just replacing them. But you can still drive the car and push it hard with it (have done several track days with it).

This is a wild guess based on my own experiences that somehow rassembles yours, it might be something completely unrelated.
Argh. Well at least it sounds like a quick fix.

After my most recent update, the check engine light turned itself off again without incident, less than 24 hours after it turned on, just like the last time it came on a few weeks ago. I did not have a chance to scan it while the light was on, again.

Does the car store codes? Should I still scan it anyways?

Does the coil-pack have a specific code that it throws?

Thanks for your post.
