    I currently have 205K on my 99/996. Just got rear ended a few weeks back.....picking the car up tomorrow 9/30/2011 at the dealer hopefully, all is well and she's still purring like she did before the accident. Only problem, needed new bumpers, and a new AC Compressor and a few minor parts replacements. Can't wait to test drive .....Updates to follow.

    I have a 6 speed tranny..I was driving at approximately 65 mph and as I drove over a bridge..the stick came out of (6th) gear. At that point I knew I was in trouble. I had a porsche service center look at it and the result was......I had less than 1/2 quart of transmission fluid in the transmission. Scorched the internals beyond repair. Costly mistake...Please always check your tranny fluid....

    After speaking to the shop manager, I'm beginning to feel that I'm being taken for a $pricey$ ride. It's apparent that when I mention to clean the ICV and throttle body he said that it'll idle by itself some of the time then it just dies out. I really don't believe that he's being honest with me.

    The tranny is a 6 speed C/2 Then start by cleaning the throttle body and idle control valve. I just spoke with the shop manager and he says the vehicle isn't presenting any fault codes. Therefore, he would like to swap out my ECU to verify if it's working properly. Please advise!

    I'll try cleaning/or replcing it. Thanks!

    I own a 1999 996 Coupe that has been in a local shop for approximately 4 months with this problem. The initial problem was I had the transmission replaced and since then the vehicle will not idle proper. The vehicle will start and run but, not without continually pressing the accelarator. I had the oil separator replaced and the MAF sensor. Can someone please offer some helpful advice. Thanks in advance! Concerned Porsche Owner
