Must have been a dirty injector. Probably didn't need to replace the coil pack.

Never gonna make you cry...
Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com
Today it was reinforced to me that assholes in tiny-penis trucks who deliberately cut off Porsches do not expect the guy who climbs out to be a 300-lb, 6'2" gorilla.
In other news, it remains a good thing that I do not have a concealed carry permit. Armed gorillas are the worst kind.

FWIW, I try to run Chevron/Texaco, or in a pinch Exxon or Shell, gasoline whenever possible since their deposit control/cleanup additives are the best of the bunch. Running other companies' fuels and adding some Techron occasionally is second prize. This is true for my 996 and IMHO even more important for direct-injection vehicles like my GT4. Knock on wood, no injector issues in either vehicle -- the 996 is approaching 100K miles (noting that Jake worked his magic on its motor at 66K miles) and the GT4 is somewhere in 23K miles territory.

Very Nice - are you going to consider replacing them in near future? Might as well put an order in today so you can get some next year.JayG wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 7:16 pm Looks like my misfire issue is no more. It's been about a week and no codes!

Nope. There potential for foot-to-butt contact, but that didn't happen either.

I generally use Costco and Mobile. Mobile is often a little less $ with the 12 cent discount for using the Mobile CC. For the 1st 2 months, you get an addition 30 cents off too02TX996Cab wrote: ↑Fri Jul 01, 2022 10:40 amSuperb!JayG wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 7:16 pm Looks like my misfire issue is no more.

Mobil and Exxon are one in the same -- different sides of the same coin. Ditto for Chevron and Texaco.JayG wrote: ↑Fri Jul 01, 2022 5:58 pmI generally use Costco and Mobile.

Costco fuels are "Top Tier" which suggests a better additive package than many retailers. I run Costco premium in my P-cars when I can but with the nearest Costco being 50 miles from my place, Chevron and Exxon/Mobil get their fair share of my business too.
