thanks for the reply!
First time the missfire came directly after a fully recond, second time after rain...
There were no compression check done at this time.
No other codes exept the missfire
I think my english is making the wording wrong for me, i think the word not should be valve but instead Lifters?
Thanks in advance

Hi
I have just bought my first Porsche 911 and I have a bit of a problem. After 30km from the dealership the enginelight started, that is not good so I took the car to Porsche Center and they plugged the car in and got missfiring in cyl 5 and therefore they changed the sparkplug and the coil (i think coil is the word?) and the car started up and runned fine. Now a week later and 600km more after a big rainfall the englinelight went on again :( so another turn to PC and again missfiring in cyl 5. Accordingly to them they now need to take down the engine and change all the valves for a totalcost of 5500 euro.
Right now the independant Dealership from where I bought the car is refusing to handling the problem because that I have bought a used car with no factory warranty
Is this normal? This car is in extremly good condition externally and internally, fully served att porsche and has now gone 65000km on the speedomeeter.
/Magnus who mayby should have kept my SLK55 :huh:
Missfiring 5cyl - 996 convertible --03
in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)

So, the story continues
Now ALL of the coils and plug are replaced and the car did infact run fine for 2days...today.....CEL again...and you can hear that the engine aint firing good. Unfortinally I dont have a duramatic so I cant get hold of the codes in the weekend :( but my guess is that it still missfire in cyl 5 again
The shop did do a Compression check and a leakdown test and everything in that was in perfect condition.
Do anyone know how the person in this thread did get his very similar problem solved? http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...amp;hl=missfire
Anoyone have any idea of what I shall thy now? Fells like this was the worst idea ever to buy a porsche :(
