Default Loss Of Power...Nothing major!

So today I ran over to a FedEx office to make a shipment. On the way back home ( 8 miles thru the country side) The car had a loss of power about three times for less than a second all within about 100 yards. Then everything went back to normal! I varied the RPM and speed to duplicate it again but everything was normal. Drove back home about 6 miles. This is a 2005 997.1 with 6 speed trans. I had the engine rebuilt about 4K miles ago. No check engine lights! Any ideas? Should I be concerned? Thanks!

Look up part 99661311302. There are some YouTube videos on how to replace it. It's pretty cheap, so I'd start there in your troubleshooting.

I have to do this as well soon so here's one:


I also think it's easier to install if you press the pedal down while you insert the switch.

I just ordered a new switch for brake and clutch pedal. I get the "depress clutch pedal" light every so often. They are cheap and easy to install, so gonna throw some new ones in
