    Update: So my 911 has been running without the CEL coming on this month. I have been reading that report Dustin provided and will probably opt to add the 3rd radiator kit. Dustin, where can I find a similar thermostat as the one you installed on your Carrera S?

    Thanks Dus10R. Send you an email in a minute. So the shop couldn't find anything wrong. Repair order: They performed diagnosis of faults with PIWIS, performed short tests, verified my MAF sensor was good, no misfires or rough running in multiple test drives and no reocurrance of faults. Maybe it was just a batch of bad gas...I'll keep monitoring it. Thanks everyone.

    Yes, I have had the car for about 3 months. Okay then, definitely not a block heater. No, no changes to intake or exhaust.

    Checking the codes myself using Durametric. Thanks for the info. I will see what they say when I take it in on Tuesday. Funny, I don't see plugs or coils in your list. I've been using the highest grade Shell gas from the same station since I got it...maybe I'll try a different one. About the engine block heater...I've noticed a burning plastic smell from the engine when it's hot. Would that correlate to the issue with the engine block heater?

    Hello All, I purchased a 2005 Carrera base with 60k a few months ago. Being a Porsche fan all my life, this was finally my first one. The car fax and records looked good but since I got it, its has been nothing but problems. Within the first month, the water pump went out. Considering the car is 7+ years old, I was okay with that. The following month the CEL came on with misfiring sum and all cylinders. I took it to TPWS in Austin and they said I needed to replace the spark plugs and coils so I had them do it. Now 2 weeks later, the CEL is on again with misfiring sum and misfiring 3, 5 and 6 cylinders. I made an appointment to take it back to TPWS. I don't mind replacing my coils and plugs but it seems like that wasn't the root cause of my CEL to begin with. Questions to the forum: Should I expect to have my 911 in the shop every month (i. e. is this normal)? Shop always seems to be really busy. Is going through a list of possibilities the correct way to approach these CEL codes or should I take it to someone else? Thanks in advance, Oscar
