These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

would you recommend replacing DME on my 11yrs old c2 tip? I can't find any air leaks, and tickover is still 1000rpm. If so who would you recommend buying it from. Thanks again.

POST 2Original post

DME replacement is definitely not the next step. I would get a diagnostic check dome by someone who knows what they are doing with a Porsche tester. They will be able to analyse sensor values which will help point you in the direction. Edit - Sorry - I just noticed your car is a 1999 C2, which will be mechanical throttle. It would definitely be worth cleaning the idle control valve and throttle body first.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks again Richard for your invaluable help. regards Baz
