Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Good morning 996 fans, has anyone with a tiptronic experienced the car having eratic idling (up to 1500 and down to 600) when selecting a gear (P/R/N/D). And this morning I was sitting in traffic, so handbrake and N, and when I selected D the revs jumped and then dropped and then the engine cut out. The car drives fine and changes gear OK when on the move. Any thnought? Thanks Stuart
