    Strange hestitation, no fault codes

    in 996 TT, 996 TT S, 996 GT2

    Posted

    Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum. Very impressive collection of users, post and knowledge!

    Anyways, I have a 03 996TT that now has 53k miles. I've owned the car since 18k miles (about 2.5 years) and I've had the same problem since day one. The problem is that when I change gears and start to give it a little gas that the engine suddenly stumbles for a fraction of a second. The oil pressure guage drops quickly and then resumes its regular pressure reading. The same stumble happens when I let off the gas while in the same gear and then begin to slowing accelerate again... the engine stumbles, oil pressure drops quickly and then recovers.

    I've taken the car to several dealers who have not been able to figure it out - perhaps because the computer isn't throwing off any fault codes - and without codes they are too lazy to diagnose the problem.

    The problem is really annoying because its feels like a bucking bronco - just not smooth acceleration at all. Since there are no error codes, I can't seem to find anyone that can figure out what is going on.

    Has anyone experienced this problem and does anyone know what the issue could be?????

    Thank you!

    Russ,

    I have been dealing with what seems to be a nearly identical problem with my 2001 TT. So far I have a long list of what isn't wrong. I don't want to hijack your post with the details of my problem and all the stuff I've tried to do to fix it.

    The only thing that the most recent shop has found as an anomaly (no answer yet if this could cause the hesitation) is a 1 degree variation in cam angle between the cams. Send me a PM with your number if you want to compare notes. I'll post the details here if you want too,

    Dave
