Default Question about coil pack failure....

started the car the other day..
check engine light flashing..
engine vibrating harshly..
drove 3 blocks down hill to my
house, seemed had now power..

n/e way, I had a set of old but good
coil packs. the harsh engine vibration
went away, but the check engine light
is know on constantly..haven't had a chance
to drive the car..but power seems to be back
to normal..

my question is, does the engine light have
to be reset at the dealer??, It seems e/thing
else is ok for know...
please advice..

Default Just go to the dealer and have them replace with new J packs(more)

They will erase the cel. Make sure they give back those packs you installed.
