Hesitation around 3000-3500 RPM


Recommended Posts

i have an 01 turbo with about 9000 miles on it now, when i am cruising on the highway with my RPM floating around 3000 rpm or 3400 rpm with maybe 10-20% throttle the car would misfire/hesitate..

However it does not have any signs of this hesitation when i am on the throttle and just revving the gear out.

Any idea what this might be?

TIA

How bad is it? Is it a bad "loose power" hesitation or is it a quick hic-up type? You could be right there at the rpm range where the wastegate is opening and closing which will cause a very slight stutter.

Okay updates:

I changed the spark plug (OEM Porsche Units)

I purchased a code reader (durametric)

No codes and with new plugs it still does the same thing, I am narrowing it down to around 3000 rpm and 3500 rpm those two point the car will loose power that it feels like I took my foot off the gas completely.

I have a 2002 911 turbo I had the EXACT same thing at 4000 RPM.

I had the sparkplugs changed and a tune up and its as good as gold now. To bad that didn't fix yours :(
