1999 C2 was the only 996 without e-gas....all other cars are e-gas.

Crazy thought, but why not look at your throttle and see if has a cable?

If your talking about that I didnt know if he meant all other 99's were E-Gas while the 99C2 and 00+ were Cable. or just all other 996s are e-gas

So instead of just helping me you had to give a dick answer which still leaves this thread open ended

go back and pop open your engine lid...look at the little throttle piece near the throttle body and if there are electrical wires running from it...then its a e-gas...like my 2000 c2

you can definately tell...there is a little module thing there with wires running out from it...most of the ones with tc or psm have the e-gas one because psm will kick in

The ONLY 996 that is NOT E-Gas is a 99 C2. So ALL OTHER 996s are E-Gas.
