I think you need to post your location, and seek/ask for a recommendation for a Porsche specific indy shop to help your repair. You can also cross post on the 986 Forum at Rennlist.com and Renntech.org. Good luck.

Thanks guys. After all it was an AOS issue. I had it changed on Official Dealer for 145 Euros. Just in case anyone else had White smoke on startup and Engine light and auto-Revs.

I was driving normally and today I noticed something weird. Let's say I'm on 3rd gear, and then I put neutral and slow down. The revs are falling to normal RPMs but then it's going to 1.5k or something, by itself. If the car stops moving, the revs are back to normal RPM again. I recently had oil and oil filter changed and Porsche said its a well maintained car. Also, there is no engine light or error code and my gas is always 100 Octane.

EDIT: It only happens if the car is moving with neutral. If it stops, the revs are falling to normal


Any ideas ?
Thanks

You said earlier there was no light. Now you say you had a CEL.

You also NEVER told us you had white smoke (which does NOT alway mean AOS).

Glad you're fixed.

Yeah I know, that's because I got smoke and light the next day I started the car! And I went to the Dealer immediately so I had no time. Thank God it was the AOS, even though it scared me a bit
