mine is solved already,, it was the fuel tank breather valve going out,, my car never stalled under any condition,, your problem sounds like a dirty throttle body or an intake vacuum leak somewhere after MAF toward the engine,, check the air intake pipes and manifold gasket,, there is a slight possibility that the excess oil has reached areas further than the throttle body where they may easily reduces the air flow to the engine,, if possible,, take off and clean throttle body, MAF, air box, intake pipes and manifold,, keep us posted,, KJ

i tapped the issue for a clear view: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Taz4CJiSnw my local stealer still can't do anything with it :(
-
Correct. My guess is he still has a dirty throttle - likely behind the butterfly. If not I guess it could be an intermittent throttle positioner - which would mean a new throttle body. i have removed the throttle body completely that day to clean it inside out,, is there a way to test the positioner? how much is the TB?
-
an update,, i took the car to the dealer,, they found no codes,, cleaned the MAF,, reflash the ECU,, checked all possible causes,, chraged me $200,, later at the same night the car was out,, it happened again and the RPM dropped to 200 revs and back up again,, i am out of ideas,, please, please, help! :@
-
sorry i for the tons of questions,, I needed help since my local dealer doesn't seem to be helpful on this,, Thanks.
-
Is there anything else can cause this problem?
-
some said that my AOS is going out,, what do you think? i tried once to remove the oil filler cap while the car running,, didn't stall but it idled roughly,, is that something?? what is the ideal idle rpm? mine idles @ around 700,,
-
there is no CEL,, do i still have to check the codes? i have once unplugged the MAF and the symptom popped up again,, i guess this eliminates the MAF,, and the leak,, right?
-
at traffic lights, the rpm goes down to 200 rev for a second or two then the idle goes back up to normal. i have cleaned throttle body and MAF but didn't fix it. my car is MY00. What is this?
-
is there anyway to check trans/diff oil level? if not, what are the symptoms and signs of low trans/diff oil level?
-
last night, i heard a recurring rubbing sound which was proportionate to engine revs,, this morning, i took a closer look at it and found that the lowest engine pulley on the left side is running unbalanced and rubbing to the belt making that sound,, what is that pulley? how to fix that? is it serious? thanks, KJ

what is the most recommended brake pads brand/model for 996 C2 street car? what are other parts should i consider in brake pads replacement? do 2000 996 C2s have brake pad wear sensors?
-
i have been to the services schedule section and couldn't figure out when to replace transmission and differential oil,, when to replace them? any parts required?
-
my 2000 C2 will turn 60,000 km where it needs a scheduled major service,, anyone knows what are the jobs done and parts replaced in major services? just wonder where i can have a copy (free if possible) of the service/repair manual for 996 Carrera.
-
should i get this 996?
kj217 replied to kj217's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
the whining sound at those speeds might just be the rear spoiler going up automatically the car has a fixed spoiler,, when i got off the car and checked the rear tires, i found them of different patterns and sizes; can this be the problem?
