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.

I have a weird problem with a 996 that doesnt want to start. It doesnt want to start when its been warmed up for a couple hours, and then shut off for several minutes. It will restart if you try to start it immediately, but if you let it sit for a few minutes it wont restart for a couple hours after everything has cooled back down again. Not throwing any codes. Replaced: fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, 3 crank sensors, Idle stabilizer, engine compartment temp sensor, and water temp sensor. I have verified the fuel pressure is good and the injectors are firing. I am pretty much at my wits end on this. Any ideas?

Well u need fuel, air and spark to make a motor run. Sounds like u have covered fuel, i assume u have checked for rodents in the air filter housing
. Next u have to check spark. I gonna guess bad coils? Hard to diagnose over the internet, u may need to find some diagnostic tools.
With the electrical plug unplugged no air should be able to pass through in the direction of the throttle body. Really not either way. With power to it air should pass through.
This valve allows fuel vapor to pass through the charcoal can purging it by pulling fuel vapor through the engine.
This alters the fuel/air mix in an uncontrolled manner.
With the engine fully warmed up, running at a predetermined RPM, this valve clatters like a fuel injector as long as a vapor recovery test is not being performed.
Next time this happens try holding the gas pedal down to see if it helps.
Interesting thread. On a 997.1 C2S (3.8 ltr) where is this purge control valve?
I think this car has a different evap setup from a 996 or a 3.6 liter 997
Thanks
