Acceleration problems
Can anyone help? I have a friend in Korea who is in need of some 911 assistance...here is his problem:
His 911 will:
- not accelerate over 3000 rpm's
- put out black smoke after 3000 rpm's during acceleration
- nearly no acceleration up a hill
- below 3000 rpm's, everything is fine
Can anyone help my international Porschephile? Thanks,
Roy

You don't say which year the car is??
Do a forum search on Head Temp Sensor - It's a simple check to find out if it's the original single wire version. If so, recommend it to be replaced with the newer twin wire version - even if it's not the cause it's a good update to have done. The single wire version earths through the thread conection and can corrode.

THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK! I HAVE PASSED THE INFO ON AND HOPEFULLY THERE IS A PORSCHE TOOLING AROUND AGAIN IN THE FAR EAST! <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" />
