Hello guys, i am the owner of a carrera s 997 2005 automatic, i have a big problem with mi car, when i am going in the highway after few minutes when the car is already warn, suddenly the car start to fail when a reach the 5000 rpm make me unable to get to the red line, when i took out my foot from the gas pedal then the car turn off. i stop the car and take off the key, then i put the key again and turn on the car and i can ride normally, until start the problem again.
My car have just 12.000 miles and no body know what happens, please can you help me, maybe some of you have a similar problems.

thanks for you help, i will appreciated it very much

 

Fuel or spark. Off the top of my head I'd look at the fuel pump. Could also be the crank sensor.
Take it to the shop.

 

thanks Hella-Buggin';12430216] the problem is that i am from Cararcas-Venezuela and we don't have here an oficial porsche store. so i do not have to many options, i will try changing the fuel pump. thank you very much.
if you find some other advise i will appreciate it.
thanks again.

 

I'd see if you can buy a diagnostic tool, and read the error codes

what is the one everyone recommends?- durametric?

 

Do you have a shop you can take it to that can measure Fuel pressure and also your spark? I would do that before changing the fuel pump. It's a big job and may not be the issue. I'm not a mechanic after all... just some guy on a forum with a hunch.

 

Hey... me too!

OP: do you have a Porsche club in your area? If so, someone may have a Durametric diagnostic tool that can both check and supply definitions of any "hidden codes" (those that don't trip the dash light). You can also track live values such as pressures and the like and capture this information as the car stalls. Could be very very valuable to you and very easy to do.

Good luck and post your journey. Also, post at Renntech.

Peace
Bruce in Philly

 

thanks guys.
Until now i am being unable to find some body with a durametric, do you now where can i buy it, i am going to miami next month, so maybe i can find it there, if is not to expensive.

Probably i am also going to buy a new fuel pump. because that problems is driving me crazy.

if you got any other advise, please let me know i really appreciate your time. thanks

 

Seriously., before you go and spend money randomly why not take it to a specialist for them to diagnose?

 

the problem is than i can not find a specialist in my country.
i don't want to spend money if i and no sure how to resolve the problem, but i don't have to much options, and i want to solve the issue.
i hope some of you guys know more about my problem and give me some other advice.
