Started my 2007 Boxster S ~16,000mi for a sunny day, top down drive on Saturday. Upon engine starting up, check engine light is flashing and the engine is running quite rough. This goes on for what I guess to be 15-20 seconds, then engine began to run normally and the CEL went off completely. I never turned the engine off, went for 60 mile trip with a few stops and engine runs great as usual.This same scenario happened when the car was maybe a year old, except the CEL stopped flashing but stayed lite. Since car was under warranty I took it to the dealer and it was diagnosed as a misfire on a cylinder whose number I don't remember and that it was no big deal. I am curious to know if anyone has any thoughts as to what this might be and if it could be the precursor of something more serious.
