I had a very similar problem. I took it to a specialist and they done cylinder compression testing, tried changing all the plugs, coil packs, etc. In the end I took it to another Porsche specialist and all they done was opened and cleaned and cleaned all the air pipes coming and going to the throttle body and made sure they were properly tightened and the car worked perfectly fine afterwards. The guy had dealt with the same problem before, he said sometime the car takes in air after the throttle body due to a loose pipe connection which causes the engine not to work correctly as too much air is going in.

I have a 911 966 carrera 1999 model. last year I started the car and a big bang followed by some smoke and the engine light came on. After a lot of money later and cylinder compression testing, etc it came down to a loose juble clip. The car was taking in air after the throttle body and in between the pipe connection to the cylinders. Yesterday the same problem, I went to start the car while the engine was warm on a hot day a big bang like the engine blew !! and a lot of smoke from the engine bay. I called out the recovery services and he said three cylinders were not running properly and there was a major misfire and was unable to tell me were the smoke came from. its running ok now but i dont know why this happened, i am realy scarred to drive the car now incase anything major goes wrong. Feedback will be appreciated

911 996 starting from hot
krums posted a topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
I have a 911 996 carrera 1999 model. it has done 90,000 miles. when i have been using the car and the engine has been running for over an hour and is nice and hot, if i turn the car off and come back even half an hour later, the car will start but will cut out. i can try starting it a couple of times but still it cuts out. i have to keep the revs high to stop it cutting out. the car does not overheat it stays in the correct temp zone. can anyone help !!!.
