Strange running issue 997.2 any ideas

[spongebob squarepants]

Phil, you're definitely having no luck at all. Hopefully this will be the last issue for a while and you can get back to enjoying the car. All the best fella.

Thanks Frank , me too . I can see the bill for this year another few grand taking to over 10k this year which is a bit dishartening after all the singing of how good these cars are lol. but on a positive note if they can sort it without to much extra cost my ave during 911 ownership excluding mods will still only under £2500 pa as an ave. its just one of those ave where there was not much in the first few years with the gen1 and a big hit all together with the gen2 so fingers crossed after this episode it will be trouble free for a couple of years bringing my ave back down to 2k pa. which to be honest isnt bad for driving a car like the 911 . if you count the 3k profit I made selling the gen1 actually my ave is still around 2k PA .thats my man maths equation but doesnt stop my bank manager frowning at me this year :grin: :grin: :grin:

Phil feel for you, you not having good luck at all :nooo:

Phil, considering you had such a good run with your last 997, it seems like you've got the short end of the stick. Wishing you a speedy resolution, perhaps logging a call with the guys that had it last to see what they might be able to shine a light on? Just a thought. Good luck mate :thumb:

I dont think they can help anymore than the OPC mate , Its had so much done to it and I dont drive it like miss daisy lol its does a min 12pa and is driven spiritedly after warming up. so things are going to go ping from time to time.and if the previos owners were lucky and had no big bills like I was with the gen1 then someone at some points going to get some bills . :thumb: just seems like lots of the guys down this way are having a run of issues at the moment, we joked the other day saying we couldnt put together one decent 911 between the lot of us at the moment :floor: :floor:

Im sorry young man .. i have a good idea whats probably going on and it makes sense to me why it was better after the valve change now .

A strip will confirm and ill not go into what i think here but you are welcome to phone me if you want a chat as always .. ill be in all weekend if you want to .

Well .. not sat morning .. haveing a look at a problem on James 996 but sat afternoon onwards .

It probably doesnt help but this is pretty much a one off .. depending on what they find .

Sorry to hear of your woes Phil, nothing more annoying than hard to diagnose fault! Do you still have fabspeed air intake on? I used to get all sorts of odd fault codes when I had the Agency Power kit on mine!
Hope you get it sorted without too much pain!!
