A mechanic here in my town said he believes it is the coolant temperature sensor. He said it's not so much the sensor is bad, it is the sensing range is too narrow. He says he can change the resistor in it and it should help. He said it would cost about 2 hours labor. I guess I will try this too. I am just trying not to put a fortune into it. It will probably be next month before I tr...

Any word on your fix?

THe Porsche Specialist I went through did the job for $3,500 after I verbally smashed them for taking so long.

Hope this helps

Did you watch the video I put under the post about car surging at 2000 rpms? It is an Audi, but it does exactly what mine is doing.

From bluejoker1 on this forum

It took my Porsche specialist 6 weeks to work out the surging revs were due to the torque converter. Once they worked out it was the torque converter, they had one made locally and installed it and the problem was fixed.Porsche Center Melbourne wanted $6,000 AUS to fix the issue. They would use a geniune part from Germany.

good luck

Here is an email I got and ZF will rebuild the torque converter for $250.

We can rebuild your torque converter for $250, in order to provide a price for a replacement tc we would need more info on the transmission part # (on green tag 1060-0x0-xxx)

Here is another thing i was told. One of the fuel injectors may be functioning incorrectly. If one is injecting too much fuel when not needed or not enough, the others may adjust to it too much or not enough. Sorta of like overcompensating.

I did have an email conversation with a ZF transmission rep. He said it didn't sound like a typical transmission problem. I hate to put $2000 into changing the torque converter and it not be it. I can forward the emails from ZF if you like.

I do and I haven't fixed my torque converter yet. I did buy a used one on Ebay. I hope to change it in June. I am saving for the IMS and a rear main seal. How is yours doing?

I found one online for $1000. I will find the website and get back to you.

I got your information. I haven't had a chance to do it yet. If you look at my original post, the Porsche mechanic guessed that it could be a weak solenoid in the transmission. If it is working and weak then it will not trip a code or check engine light. Porsche will not work on a transmission, but will only replace it at $8500. I have a schematic of the transmission if you need m...

I guess between the two of us we will just keep trying until we figure it out. I just hope we can!

I guess we need to figure out what is working and not working in limp mode and that will narrow it down some.

I had the same thought. Are you doing it yourself?

I have to save. Ii don't have the funds for it now.

I hope it's not as bad a we think!

I just became contributing member on here and I was able to download the 1999 Carrera Service Information pdf. It has allot of information in it. It is is 19 mb. If you want it I can email it to you.
