but you might like to describe the problem in more detail. do you mean when the clutch is depressed? or just coasting along the engine loses power? what is the significance of 2000rpm? so the car doesnt stall if you push the clutch in when the revs are at 3000rpm? confused. anyway .. dont answer these questions .. just start again and describe accurately.
i was in first gear, clutch was released and accelerator was pressed and the revs were just under 2000 rpm at the time and it just cut out as i was driving along.

This may or may not be helpful.

I have a '95 993 with LWF. Your post brings back lots of memories. I could have written it a few years ago. The solution was a Steve Wong chip. Best mod I have ever done to the 993.

so you have an idle problem and another possibly related problem?

so this last symptom has nothing to do with an idle? the car was in gear & moving and you lost power?

this is what the primary distributor cap and rotor arm look like, secondary one is more worn:



So i am going to change the caps, rotor arms and the sparkplugs.
Today the car has been behaving itself and has been perfect so far.
