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.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Guys, The last few mornings I have started my car and it turns over fine, but when it fires up it barely fires at all. Twice it is stalled, and I recrank and hit the gas just a bit as it fires. Any idea on this. I ran a system check and it came back error free. Any ideas would be appreciated.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Was that something you fiexed yourself, or took into the shop? How would you do it yourself?

POST 4Original post

The dealer did it. But according to the gurus over at Renntech it's a 15 minute job. You might want to do a search there.

POST 5Original post

What year is your car. Only the 99 C2 had an idle control valve. May be nothing more than a bad tank of gas.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It is a 2004 C2. 4k miles- daily driver bought new Dec 2005.

POST 7Original post

1999Porsche911 *May be nothing more than a bad tank of gas.* Having had both a '64 Galaxy 500 and a '76 Peugeot 504 that did the same thing because of a bad tank of gas, that was my first thought.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Shoudl I maybe run some of the Chevron TEchron fuel additive through it as a possible cure?
