Re: What is an Engine Control Fault?

Make sure your gas cap has 'clicked' shut. If not, it will set off that light. Click it tight and see if the light goes out in a day or two. You can also pick up an OBDII code ready for peanuts these days and see what the fault is. They have them at most auto parts stores and, of course, Amazon...

Re: Strange 944 misfire

Yikes, that is a weird one. At least it's not intermittent, or subtle, so that should make it a little easier to find. I'd start by going over the basics -- cam timing ok? Plug wires in right order? Plumbing correct within mixed-up AOS and ISV hoses? Cap and rotor on tight? AFM connection tight? Any...

Re: 944 Sport Seats - opinions wanted

Post some pictures. :) Sports seats are worth more than non-sport seats, so I imagine there are plenty of people willing to trade.
