Man, get your car checked out first, your already talking about new engine? lol, the 911 is usually a bulletproof car- your issue will end up being a fuel pump or a sensor i bet!

Was that a joke Tarek,lol.
M96/M97 engines have very big failure rate, look it up! Ask me how I know??I had to go thru this on my 996. On 997.2 it might be bulletproof since Porsche decided to go with a different design. Hope its not big issue on your car Vader, keep us posted

The 2006 model years and beyond have great performance. Some of the 2005's had IMS issues from what I can tell. Some 2006's have a battery cable issue that is a PITA to deal with, but beyond that, I think the 997.1 has been a success with these motors.

It goes in on Thursday. In looking at the records it had a full inspection and oil service 3000 miles ago. My wife snuck it out when I was traveling and can't recall what grade gas she put in it. I am thinking the cheap stuff considering the cash came from her wallet. I put real gas in it and did not notice the hesitation on the way home. Anyway won't be driving it until after the doctors appointment.

Originally i was going to buy a 997 that had the IMS bearing seal replaced. (It got sold on me cause i hesitated)
Anyway people always talk about a vibration or leaks.....
