Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Reported cause · Original poster
The day after one of my many trips to the dealer dealing with the check engine light, which turned out to be the MAF, I was driving along with a little over a quarter tank when the check engine light came on, the engine started missing, and the check engine light started blinking.

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

Anyone know the procedure for running the car through the steps necessary to "recalibrate" the gas gauge? The day after one of my many trips to the dealer dealing with the check engine light, which turned out to be the MAF, I was driving along with a little over a quarter tank when the check engine light came on, the engine started missing, and the check engine light started blinking. The engine died and would not refire. I figured the dealer forgot to reconnect something etc. Turns out, the gas gauge was wrong and I simply ran out of gas. Supposedly during the day I had it the gauge became "uncalibrated". Dealer "fixed it" by running it through a series of actions somewhere this side of black magic or voodoo. I was at the track this weekend and the gauge was showing empty after two sessions. I filled it up. Gauge stayed on empty. Anyone know the procedure? Please, please tell me I don't have to go back to the dealer.

Yes, unfortunately you do have to go back to the dealer. The setting is kept in the instrument cluster computer and must be set with a Porsche System Tester 2 (PST2).
