Question XK8 Coil Problem

I have gotten a Restricted Performance light a couple of times over the past couple of weeks. Both times the codes were:
P0302
P1313
P1316
P0352

It seems that if I let it set till morning, cleared and cleared the codes that the errors went away and the engine resumed normal performance. I had noticed that on the days when it malfunctioned the temp outside was 90-94, so I figured that the coil was probably breaking down when it got hot.

I replaced the coil today and took car for long test drive. Outside temp is only 80. After about 35 miles, the problem returned with the same error codes.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Default Coil Problem

To continue testing, I replaced the spark plug on the #2 cylinder and cleared the codes. The problem seemed resolved, no light for a week of driving. Then today the restricted light came on again, only this time it threw 0351 and 0301 codes. I replaced all the spark plugs, cleared the codes and took it for another test drive. After about 35 miles, the light came on again with the same codes.

It still seems to be heat related. I let the car set for 5 hours ( and the ambient temp outside went from about 85 to 65), cleared the codes. When I restarted and drove back another 45 miles, no problems.

Just to help summarize your codes...

Run a can of BG-44K through the fuel system. That cleared up all my fuel related codes just after I bought my car. Changed the spark plugs to NGK Iridium. Runs great now. Not saying this is your problem too, but it worked for me.
