Rondog, I am no 987 expert...had my fair share of learning experiences with a first year model 986, but the 987 is a whole new car from what I hear, and I hoped that they fixed the bugs in the new model.

TVC15, your fix is valuable information, but if you ask me, something big is out of whack with the computer system if it has to be rebooted on the side of the road! I'd start hollering loud and long at the dealership if I were you.

You know, I have come very close to removing my cluster and pulling out the CE lamp so it never comes on again. Then, when the car starts running poorly, I will take it to my mechanic for a good old check with the PST tool. Same goes for that stupid airbag light!
