As the engine speed drops, the ECU has to switch the fuel injectors back on in anticipation of you dipping the clutch or going into neutral. From memory, this threshold is at about 1250rpm in a 964. So, if you dip the clutch at say 1300rpm with a LWFW, the engine speed drops so fast that the injectors don't get a chance to re-power the engine. The LWFW fix merely raises this threshold to around 1600rpm, thus giving the engine enough time to "relight". To help with stalling at cold start, the ignition advance around the idle speed area can be raised slightly.

PM me if you want more info....
Thank for the info. I'll talk to my engine shop and see if they have tried that.

Could you email me some more info regarding your fix for the LWFW. I still have occasional stalling issues and tough cold starts even with a Steve Wong chip. Thanks!,
