It clears and then returns after an hour or so. Its always small throttle opening and 35 - 50 MpH.

Normally a high manifold vacuum situation; you have a leak.

Leak

Since its not showing with a smoke test, any thoughts on where? Other than replacing the AOS, everything else has been checked and double checked.

Many thanks,
Paul

I believe Softronic tuning mainly consists of leaning out the air/fuel mixture.

The data acquisition for tuning process is specific to the car. I don't know if the returned tune is specific but for mine there is a fairly significant difference in timing, particularly at lower/idle RPMS. The current physical engine configuration will not run with the stock Porsche tune and will blow out the cats with backfires.

The Softronic performance is very good.

Thanks
Paul
