Check engine light - update

Check engine life update This is an update to an earlier post re check engine light. I ended up having to take my car to the dealer. They ended up replacing the spark plugs and the coil packs. They also reset the software. The dealer thankfully replaced the spark plugs and coil packs under warranty since they had been replaced less than 7000 miles ago at approximately 47000. Same issue - check engine light - not running on all 4 -replace plugs and coil packs - then they only replace 3 plugs but I paid for the 4th.

They were unable to tell me why they this had to be performed again. I buy my gas at a station with a high volume so the gas doesn't sit there. I use the right grade of gas. I follow all of the maintenance schedules and oil changes are done at 5 to 6K intervals.

I hope this is not a pattern. i wish it were the gas cap. Anyone have any ideas?

Check engine update

It is a 2011 non turbo manual and I don't know the CEL code. Should I ask the dealer? When I took it to my local mechanic he could not detect any codes.
