Engine stumble/hesitation around 2500 RPM?
#542
Anybody ever try an ECU tuner shop to try to address the hesitation problem? I saw an AWE Tuning post that advertised a G.I.A.C. tune for the 991. It says: "G.I.A.C. Performance Software delivers silky smooth power delivery, increased throttle response and improved drivability by fine tuning your Porsche’s Engine Computer parameters." This ain't cheap (I think it costs $1,620) and I think you have to have it done at the G.I.A.C. shop in California, so it's not the kind of thing you want to do on a whim if you live on the East coast. Perhaps the best way to ask the question is whether anybody that HAS had the tune done, has experienced hesitation after the tune.

Have there been any reports of warranty voiding on the 991 Carrera / S models with our software installed? I am not aware of a single case where that has happened.

You are correct I haven't heard of a single case.

Secondly, do you know if your software installers have the capability to identify the stumbling/hesitation issue?
Any help would be appreciated, as PCNA of course refuses to acknowledge the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Just out of curiosity, are you aware of any 991 owners that have had the stumbling problem cured by a software flash?

Can you tell us if any of the cars that received your flash had stumbling BEFORE the flash? If we were to have our cars flashed and continued to have stumbling, would you return our money under your 30 day satisfaction guarantee?
Thanks!

There are obviously plenty of cars out there with ECU flashes that never have an engine warranty claim, and I am not saying that the flash will damage your engine. Just beware of the warranty issue.

I don't think anyone would be aware of a warranty being voided by software flash until a claim was actually made. I can almost guarantee that an engine related claim would be denied on a car with any ECU software flash. If you don't think so, just call around and ask dealers about it, or even better contact PCNA and ask them. And don't say, well no one is going to tell the dealer that they have had a flash, because they will know of course. And, if you are afraid to tell the dealer or PCNA, doesn't that prove the point that it does put your warranty at risk?
