2007 Cayenne Turbo erratic idle / CEL


Recommended Posts

No CELs initially. First symptom: random long starts. Second: smell of burnt plastic. Third: more consistent longer starts. Then: total failure at highway speed. Scared the heck out of me. Nursed it home. Diagnosed left fuel pump (primary) bad, swapped it out. Improvement. Then fuel filter. More improvement. Then right pump & FPR. Better still; all the while dreading the ultimate reality that my HPFP was also bad. Finally swapped out a rebuilt Porsche HPFP (thing was actually new) and talked PCNA into helping me out. They sent a $500 voucher. Why? Because I asked nicely. Also my car previously had the service campaign for the HPFP and the unit I pulled off was the newest revision so I'm likely now on at least my 4th HPFP in 158k miles.

Did you have a very rough idle at cold starts?

Do you have any idea what your actual HP value is and what the Setpoint value is? I want to compare with mine to check if my HP pump is indeed failing.

Should call for and receive 40mb at idle. Mine would sometimes get that, I'd think GREAT then go for throttle up and it'd bog down... Replacing the entire LPFP system that was 8 yrs old helped quite a bit and was absolutely needed, but ultimately it was the dreaded HPFP. Call Porsche and see if they'll help you. They sent me a $500 voucher simply for asking. Rebuilt units (new really) can be found from dealers for around $800usd. Installed it myself. Been running fine since. Future prevention measures: refill my fuel tank now at 1/4 or higher vs letting it run until the light comes on and changing oil more often (5k-ish) with a quality oil (I use Amsoil).
