Car hesitating/missing HELP - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I have a 2.5L box automatic. It doesn't want to go from a full stop. It hesitates bad when I give it gas. It was running fine until I stopped and decided to turn the a/c on while i was at the light. I tried to go and it didn't want to go. Seems like it runs ok once I get some speed up, but I didn't really get into the gas to see if it was missing up high so I don't really know. Anyone else had a problem similar to this?

Oh ya...there is no check engine light that has come on in the car.

OK...NOBODY on here has ever had or heard of anything like this happening? Not a MAF gone bad or O2 sensor is it?? Why would the CEL not be coming on?? Any ideas at all before I take it to the garage?

Sorry, i havent heard of this happening. Does it go back to normal when you turn the AC off?

what year model and how many miles? always give such info so we can help better. Try putting a bottle of fuel injector cleaner first. It could also be a vacuum leak when the AC is on. It's quite a strange problem.
