I had my clutch accumulator replaced along with rear spoiler drive at the dealer and when I picked it up I left the switch turned on while talking to someone at the dealership. The service manager jumped it off at the battery with a jump box. Now I have noticed that my engine has a dead spot. It is hard to explain but I will try. When you are going down the road and let off the gas and just as you start to push it back down it has a slight hesitation. It is not very noticeable and most would not even feel it. It feels like you have to push the gas pedal about 1/16 or so before it opens up. Any idea what this may be?
My car is a 01 996TT all stock.

All RPMs?

Up hill, down hill- under all loads?

How many miles on the plugs?

Yes does it under all loads. Plugs are the ones that came it it new with 12,000 miles on them. Runs fine other than the dead spot does not skip at any rpm just no response as you just ease down on gas. It is allmost like the switch is off and then truned back on.

Sounds like your drive by wire throttle body got messed up due to the low battery voltage. I would start by disconnecting the battery for about 10-15 seconds then go through the TB adaptation procedure. I believe you leave the drivers door open, then turn the ignition to "on" without starting the car. I think if you search the forum you'll find it.

Could be the infamous "miss at 3200rpm" problem I've heard so much about too. Dunno...
