Ok fellas, here’s the run down Aux Air Regulator (AAR) and Cold Start Valve (CSV)/injector both work fine. Many of you have also been keeping up with my high idle issue that we figured out.
But yet, when the car is cold, i.e. room temp, I don’t get the high idle I should on start-up. Instead she cranks a bit and then lumbers to life. Idle lopes around 700-800rpm and then smooths out as it warms. In all other aspects of operation, the engine seems to be pretty happy. Thoughts? Experience? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) -Van See post #419 on page 14 for a synopsis of the outcome. |

Ok folks, I’m trying to be cool here, but I can’t f**king believe what I just found!
My car has Bosch WR7DC plugs in it, which have a 13/16” body, which doesn’t fit in the cylinder! The body bottoms out against the head when the thread is only about 2/3rds of the way in! WTF?!? It really makes me wonder about these so called “Independent Porsche Mechanics”! I won’t name the REPUTABLE shop in Atlanta that did my PPI, whic included a compression test, but holy shit what a hack!!!!! Man I’m pissed!!!!! Alright, let me take a breath here and ask what plug is preferred that has a M14 thread and 5/8 body? |
