hi all,have 997 MY05 and have misfire codes and check engine light on. if i start car and drive its fine until i come to traffic and idle or low revs for a minute or so then starts to misfire and gets worse,sounding like bag of nails. if i then switch off and restart then problem gone until next time i hit traffic. had it on piwis and says misfire for cylinders 1,2,3 and if leave for longer misfiring then 4 and 6 appear. the problem also clears if i erase DME faults. i have changed all coils,spark plugs and aos but still have issue.

also if i activate camshaft adjustment on piwis when running there seems to be no change in engine revs.

any ideas before start looking deeper?

Can you give us all the fault codes?

the car has 54k miles on it. the fault codes are the usual of

P0300 multiple misfire

P0301 cyl 1 misfire

P0302 cyl2 misfire

P0303 cyl 3 misfire

and if i leave it rough running for few minutes more it will then show in addition

P0304 cyl 4 misfire

P0306 cyl 6 misfire

even when left for ages running badly and misfiring and spluttering i have never seen P0305 come up or any other fault related to the suspected variable cam timing solenoid on bank 1.

when i compare the readings of bank 1 and two in actual values of cam adjustment it seems that values on bank 1 seem lazy

hope this helps with your questions?

I am not sure if this will help, but my car had the same problem, and here are the things that was done, I am not sure which helped, but one did:

Change all coil packs, sometimes they have cracks not visible with eye.

Changed all Plugs

Change oil (Sometimes oil gets a bit old) the cars are very sensitive

Replaced all the lifters ( At any time through life of the car, if bad oil was used, or sat for a while) lifters can get sticky

cleaning the Intake.

Hope you best, it is really frustrating.
