I should’ve posted this a long time ago. I ended up taking the car to the local dealer because I was concerned, and interestingly enough, Porsche scanner shows my LTFT’s are +/-2%, but the $20 OBD reader shows them as much higher…

I tried it again at a local indy a few months later and exact same thing. For some reason the cheap-o plug-in OBD scanner reports a falsely high reading, even though the true values are perfectly fine.

Just something to be aware of when doing DIY troubleshooting.

My OBD2 $100 KiWi3 reader and my Foxwell 530 read the same. LTFT 6% adding fuel on both banks.

hoping that’s the 10% ethanol in our fuel that’s causing by that or maybe I have another tiny vacuum leak somewhere.

Be sure to hook up a proper scanner before you embark on a wild goose chase. I’d be very curious if your results are similar to mine, meaning ELM
shows a false high value.
