997.2 C2S with Tubi question
Hi everyone,
I recently had a Tubi exhaust installed on my 2010 997.2 C2S with almost 77k. I didn't have any issues with it initially, but after about 2 weeks, I got a flashing CEL while I left the car idling in my driveway for less than 2 minutes. I immediately shut off the car and when I restarted it, no CEL. I took it to the Indy shop that installed the exhaust and they pulled up the fault codes and it was misfiring on one bank. They recommended changing the plugs and coil pack, and I didn't throw a code again until today. Same issue, pulled the car out, CEL, shut it off, and now no CEL. I'm going to be taking the car back to the shop on Monday, but was hoping to get insight as to what would make sense.
Based on my research on here, I read that it might be the VVS actuator, but has anyone else had any issues after installing their Tubi? Also, could it be due to bad gas or bad gas cap? All this started only after I filled up at a top tier station and the attendant twisted the crap out of the cap.
Thanks.

Similar experience here. Wish I could help (and maybe this does in potentially ruling it out) but I've had zero issues since install which was 5 years and 8,000 miles ago. Good luck figuring out the issue.
