Engine Hesitation
Got my new 997S 2 days ago. So far, I have put on 200 miles, varying the speed as I go. Towards the end of my drive today, the engine started hesitating in 1st and 2nd gear. Went away after stopping for about 15 min.
Plus, my air conditioner doesn't work! I hope that this is not a trend!

I am very perceptive of the car's behavior and have noticed on ocassion, rare ocassion, the car stumbles ever so slightly. Given the Sports Chrono package can control the throttle response time, I wonder if there is any correlation to having this option and this particular issue. Again, it is rare and has never happened while in Chrono mode. Any thoughts...

It's not the gas. My other cars don't do it with the same gas. Mine does not hesitate when in chrono mode or I start the car in first. Only when the tranny is in auto mode and starts in 2nd gear. Further, it only hesitates when the engine has been run to operating temp, then shut down, then re-started within 10 minutes or so (like getting gas or going into the store).

I knew it wasn't the gas. I actually had mine stall once at a stop sign and it was kind of funny because this guy was tailgating me and my car died. I took it in they replaced a module (?whaever?). The car doesn't stall anymore, but it does sputter on very rare ocassions (not a warm-up issue, either).

What was interesting is that mine occured when in normal mode (I almost always had the sports mode on, but that day I did not). The only other abberancy was that 1 day prior I went on 'spirited' drive with a few other rennlisters. Perhaps it does have something to do with the throttle response?

The AC is turned on by turning OFF the ECO, so if the ECO light is ON your AC is OFF, kinda backwards... threw me a bit of a curveball. But kinda makes sense now, if you turn off 'environment conditioning' (assuming thats the acronym) then your A/C is off too.
