Hey guys, over the summer ran into a fellow 996 owner who said he heard the ole "blowing into a coke bottle sound" and that it was from his fuel valve. But not the one up front... but in the REAR?? Anyone have input on this?

Maybe referring to the fuel regeneration valve? That is on the engine near the throttle body.

It could if the plastic hose or plastic housing is broken. It normally makes a clicky clicky sound when you start up the car. Looks like this:

Eeeek, looks like something a proctologist would stick in the rear!
Ouch, please pass the Vaceline.

I have never been to a proctologist, but if anyone approached me with something like that, I would run...fast and far.

No I remember Homey the Clown well enough. Just never had cause to conflate the two until now.
