The Spyder is the first car I accepted the wheel and tire coverage upsell on lol, on the bright side that's a pretty good decision lol

Good deal. I was going to say I had one just like that on my 911 and I had it plugged and patched, as I don’t track my cars. That’s been over 1000 miles ago and no issues. Sounds like you’ll get a new tire. Hopefully things will be smooth from here.

Well guess culprit isn't fuel, 2 tanks later, CEL comes back with the misfire. They're changing fuel rails and injectors right now, hoping to fix it. It's getting close to the you-know-what time, but I really hope it won't come to that.

Same, I don't think they knew what the root cause is yet, it's been 5 days already

UPDATE:
I think they finally found the root cause (or so I should hope): injector 3 and 6, fuel deviation value was low which was the indication that those 2 cylinders were running rich. They flushed the entire fuel system, as well as changing out all 6 injectors and 6 plugs, so far so good but we'll see if that actually solves my issue.

Fingers crossed and you can get back to posting photos of the car (I'm hoping to see more!).

Haha I sure hope so, got 2 new 256G cards for my camera so I should be ready on that front lol...plus got 2 new track events signed up already hopefully I won't see any CEL/misfires before that. Funny story, like 2 times happened a week before the 2 events that I've signed up and had to cancel because of that

Pulling for you. Hopefully that's the end of it and you can start enjoying the car instead of just tolerating and dealing with it.

Many years ago my wife’s 981S freaked out on the track with half-a-dozen codes. Dealer couldn’t reproduce. After figuring out how to trigger the failure on the street we brought it to the dealer and taught the service manager how to provoke the problem. After many, many PAG/PCNA-approved warranty repairs, the mothership rolled the dice and they came up “injectors” and that cured the problem. I’m glad to see that the post-‘16 ECUs and PIWIS have additional capability for pointing fingers at injectors now.

Yeah, I believe this is a rare case as I asked a friend to check with PCNA and no similar cases were reported at all. They tried swap coils and plugs and that didn't work, I hope those injectors are the real culprit, I'd really like to enjoy the car now that summer is around the corner (aka actually driving it&#128514

Lol. They didn’t look very hard or records fall off the edge of the world after a couple of years.

List of swaps for the 981S before injectors:
- plugs
- coils
- vario-cam adjusters
- engine ECU

I think there were a couple more, but those off the top of my head.
