911 Targa in trouble
Nima Alizadeh replied to Nima Alizadeh's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
dear DBJoe996, So i arrived in northern california this morning; followed your instructions... 10 Gallons of 91 Gas... disconnected the battery, did the e-gas calibration.... first time the car turned on, did not work smooth, but not as bad as before so i became hopeful; left it on for a few minutes.. then it turned off... i repeated this process again... and the 3rd time, the engine would not come on at all... What do you think? -

thank you so much DBjoe996!! CEL is on! i havent checked for codes yet.. if i turned the car on, it works and after a minute or 2 the CEL starts blinking (which i know is bad).. the car was about 50 miles from my parents house when this happened and i live in LA... so i had the car towed to the AAA yard... and it was Sunday so mechanic shop was closed and i had to leave for LA in the morning.. So i had AAA put in the 2 Gallons.. and was hoping it wold fix the issue so i could take it to the gas station and drive it home,,, but it didn't help.. the car would come on but would not work right.. so i had them tow it to my parents house and left it in the garage.... in order to do what you are saying i need to tow the car to a gas-station ;; or is it necessary to completely fill-up? I will be driving up in 2 weeks and will definitely follow your instructions and update here. thank you so much for your help -

I own a 2002 911 Targa 6Sp with 65k miles. Engine was rebuilt 3 years ago with 50k miles due to a broken tension-er arm in the engine. I store the car in my parents house in the bay area and live in Southern California. when i come up every 2-3 weeks, i start the car and take it for a spin. This past week, i took it out and drove it from Livermore to San Jose; on the way, the gas light came on. And i drove for another 10 miles or so... When getting on an on-ramp on highway 85, i was accelerating quickly (had foot on the gas) and something happened ... the engine started losing power... I pulled over to the side of the freeway... the engine turned off... i re-started and it worked (but not smoothly) and then it died again.... Oil pressure was at 5... I had the car towed; put 2 gallons of gas and started again.. but had same issues.. did not work right... smell of gas etc. Can anyone tell me if this is a case of 'bad/dirty gas being pulled into the fuel pump/filter' causing this issue? Or could it be some more serious engine issue? thanks for your help
