That doesn't make sense because the roughness only lasts for a few seconds, but if I do need one there is two part #'s for these on for e-accelerator and one without. The moror is a 2.7 with tiptronic. Can anyone shed some light on this?

I don't know which one you would need, but have another option you might try. I just had a problem with mine and the shop that I took it to told me that I could try having them clean it. They said it works 50% to 60% of the time, especially if the problem isn't bad. My brother is a mechanic (non_Porsche) and said that he has a success rate of about 80 to 90% on vehicles as a whole. Having it cleaned cost me a little over $200 instead of much more to have it replaced. Hope that helps.
