niceguy's post in Still problem with 996tt 3mths down the road was marked as the answer
Thanks everyone who helped with my problem
Finally, both the abs/psm, erratic idle and p0102 are all gone. Durametric is telling me there is no error code after driving for 3 days.
The problem was solved through 2 leak tests. The indy found around 5 leaks and also replaced a dozen of other vacuum hoses a as precautionary measure. 3-4 leaks were found near the F hose, but the F hose itself was fine. The first leak test showed also a leak with the venturi T piece with part no. 99611065270. So problem persisted for another month while I was waiting for the T piece to arrive. At last, when this T piece that sits just behind the top of the engine oil filter was replaced, all the throttle response and stable idling are back. The car is perfect again, thanks for all the help. I hope my sharing will become a useful one for those who read this post.

niceguy's post in My last report was marked as the answer
Latest report,
My indy finally had time to appoint my car. He fitted 2 wedding grade cables which have twice the amount of copper wires than the stock engine to ground cable for me. One from the engine to chassis and the other from gearbox to chassis. The problem has now been solved. Cannot be happier :)
Car now seeing close to 14v without AC and headlights, 13.5v with AC and headlights on, hopefully I can see 13.7-9v when the battery is charged from the current 11.8 to 12.6v.
Thanks every one who helped, especially to Ahsai who helped tons. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: Full respect to him, thanks again!!!

niceguy's post in white Steam rising from centre n driver radiator 996tt was marked as the answer
Problem solved
Having removed the bumper yesterday, I found there were loads of leaves n dust stuck to the radiators, which is exactly what i thought what it might be. To confirm my finding, I left the bumper off after cleaning the radiators, clearly i could see smoke coming out of the front (mouth) n the 2 radiators on the side. Once dried, there were no more steam, thank god. So, this the steaming issue should be the same for all 996 models and the smoke should only appear in the wet or when the radiators are wet with no loss of coolant.
