Thanks JFP. I do not have access to a Durametric system and the car is stuck in my garage. I guess if you're going to break down that's a great place to do it. But I can do some research and troubleshoot these items (e.g. check for spark the ole fasion way) and see if anything pops up. But it sounds like there may not be a solid way to rule out/rule in the IMS. But I'll put this on the bottom of my check list.

The car normally starts fine. I went to start my 2001 911 996 Carrera (triptronic) for the first time of the day. It cranked normally and right at the point of starting something changed, almost like the amount of mass being cranked got lighter. I'm trying to find out if there is a way to confirm or rule out the IMS failure The engine will still turn over and the serpentine belt is going around normally. I just don't know how the failure presents itself other than from others have said about the engine makine all kinds of noises and sometimes leaking oil. The only other possible time where I've noticed when an engine cranks differently is when it has no fuel. On some engines it will sometimes feel like the engine is cranking less mass. Please, please, please, oh please don't let this be the dreaded IMS failure. Any help on troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Rob
