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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes, the early 3.4's had a mechanical throttle, using DME5.2.2. They changed the C2 to electronic throttle for MY2000 when they introduced DME7.2. ALL 996 C4's were electronic throttle (MY1999-on). MY2000 started with cars built from 1st September 1999.

POST 2Original post

Hi. A bit of info required here please (for a 944 interloper ) if anyone can help? Were the early 996 cars fitted with a cable operated accelerator pedal (as opposed to an electronic system I assume). If so when did Porsche change this set up? A specific chassis number would be very useful. Thanks & regards.

POST 4Original post

Are you familiar with PET? (It can be downloaded from Porsche website) If you find the page for the pedal or throttle body, it should give the range of chassis numbers that apply. kr Lee

POST 5Original post

Hi Lee - I will check it out . Thanks & regards. Zeusy.
