How is the car running now?
I just threw a P0301, P0303 and a ????? CEL (according to a friend's COBB Accessport).

Similar circumstances to yours.

I reset the ECU, to clear the codes. IF they come back then I'll have to get it looked at.
But I am thinking it was a random missfire. Cold car, plus lighened flywheel are my thoughts on my CEL.

If you are really worried about it take it into the dealer. Otherwise I would just reset the ECU and drive it on the "normal" side for a day or two to see if the CEL comes back on.

i just reset the ecu also, now it runs fine...(car runs slow now) ill see wat happen for a couple of days and see if it comes back on. wen the motor is cold and trying to warm up, wen i press the gas for a bit (maybe like under 2k RPM) the car makes this rumble..stuttering the motor), NOW this is only wen the motor is cold, wen its warm its fine!

Does your do that? i prolly have a bad coil packs.

No, mine doesn't do that. My car had clutch judder, but that is when you are engaging/disengaging the clutch. So definately not what you are experiencing (also I haven't heard of the 06's having this problem).

You might want to get that looked into.
