You need to be under the car when the filter is pulled, otherwise I have no idea what your chosen shop is up to, but in my estimation, it ain't good.

Exactly what I thought JFP. It still starts and makes that tacking sound. This shop mostly deals with old folks that are willing to pay to have parts thrown at problems. I really needed your guys opinion on what he was telling me because it didn't make sense.
I'm going to take the car back, get it towed home and check it myself. The only other options near me for the next step are the Porsche dealership in VA beach and a specialty Porsche indy in Richmond, Lufteknic. I can do amateur DIY stuff but this is beyond me.
First thought was to ask you guys when I was on the side of the road. I always appreciate the help on this forum. I've done so much work myself just reading posts and articles.
