Mods to rear lid wiring loom to avoid spoiler alarm?
Rich L replied to DaveCarrera4S's topic in 996 TT, 996 TT S, 996 GT2
I installed a fixed shaft, which maintained my stock spoiler. For resale purposes, I wanted the ability to have my leaking hydraulics repaired and re-installed. In lieu of cutting and splicing wires at the micro-switch, I zip tied the upper (IIRC) into the depressed position and zip tied the lower (IIRC) one into the open position (to prevent it from accidentally triggering). From what I remember, full down = both switches depressed; partially deployed = only top switch depressed; fully deployed = neither switch depressed. Unfortunately, I don't remember the color code for the top and bottom microswitches. I receive a single error the very first time I reached 75mph, but it has not triggered since then (3 years). -
Fast idle after disengaging clutch from reverse

I have not done it and cannot see where it was done in the maintenance records. Will add it to my list of tasks for the week. Thanks. -
Fast idle after disengaging clutch from reverse

Reviving an old thread in hopes there has been some resolution. I have had the same issue since I bought the car 4 years ago. Happens only on cold starts. Give it about 30 seconds then start to back out of the garage. I don't press the accelerator pedal, but as soon as the clutch pedal is pressed in, the revs jump to 2k rpm and slowly settle back to idle. Again, I never touch the accelerator pedal. The symptoms aren't present after the vehicle idles for a few minutes or at any time when warm. No CEL or codes. 2003 X50 with plugs, coils, MAF all new within the last 4k miles.
