This is a very difficult to get item to get! Many have said soaking the existing one in kerosene for a few days will do the trick, have not done that yet as I am still trying to track down a new one. Wondering what the success rate has been with soaking it in kerosene, also wondering would WD 40 do the same thing. Would hate to ruin the one I have, which is original to the car!

I'm curios if you understand why you need it? Why do you think you do?

I'm curios if you understand why you need it? Why do you think you do? According to the mechanic working on my car it controls the vacuum, so when not working you can have backfiring on deceleration, which I have. Also it is not possible to set the idle correctly with it being plugged. I am sure more knowledgeable people can explain the need for it better than me! I am also pretty confident it is there for a reason or Porsche would have not put it in the car. My mechanic is an ASE from Belgium, has worked on these cars before emigrating to Canada; until I found him I was on the verge of switching to aftermarket fuel injection. Ian Stott Moncton Canada |
