Hey guys, my 2000 996 w 48k miles runs funny..

By funny i mean that after a cold start, For example the idle will go up and down (not severe jumps but a bit), When I step on the gas however right after a cold start, it will bog down especially around 4K rpm.

Now on the other hand, once the vehicle is warmed up, it runs like a charm!!

Any clue on what this is? I have a K&N Intake, so I figure maybe MAF is shot?

Is it still safe to drive her, once she is warned up?

Thanks,
Paul

 

clean the maf and try!Nothing to lose right?

 

Are you sure its not btw 2.5-3k? Mine does that also for a few minutes. It doesn't bog but rpms fluctuate a little with gas. I believe its the variocams. My 986 did that also.

 

cleaned the maf, a bit better but still there..

ugh i dont have $200+ for maf >_< right now..

do you guys think its still ok to drive after it warms up?

the fluctuations are when its idling.. around 1k, but it hesitates around 4k

I bet your throttle body needs cleaning & new sparkplugs if you never replaced before.

 

oh i see, so you dont think it's the maf? or do you think its a combination of alll of this.. maf, throttel body, and spark plugs?

oh boy, i am worried... I have to take a 700 mile trip (350 each way) and i dont have time to mess with plugs..
