Success! Finally fixed the hard start while hot and fueling issues.

Good suggestion. If cleaning doesn't work I could always try a generic $20 solenoid from the auto parts store. Just connect it to the existing hard plastic line. And maybe have to wire in a connector that fits. But it's just a simple normally closed solenoid vacuum valve, very generic in function.

Excellent - we need easily available, generic fixes like this. Sounds like the perfect project for one of our electrical gurus like Particleweave ?

Hey y'all:
I'm just posting here so that future readers who are searching for Porsche Fault Code 68: P0444 will find this thread more easily than I did.

I've been dinkin' around under the hood recently, and this code popped for me. turns-out I (somehow) removed the electrical connector from the EVAP Purge Valve under the left-side intake. I know I was messing around right there (i'll post about that later) but still don;t know how I knocked-off that connecter; it's a wire-retainer, and seems pretty secure. but I've put it back on and the code is not returning.

Thanks Heavens! haha.
