I almost bought a silver 996 just like yours a couple years ago. Pretty much 100% stock. The owner was in a Porsche club and kept it stock and reliable. Only problem is I could smell antifreeze and I knew those rat's nest of coolant pipes were starting to go. I did a bunch of research back then and I believe when you do the spark plugs it's best to do the Porsche OEM coil packs at the same time as they can short out once up to temperature. Check the factory manual. It's based off of mileage when to replace the coil packs. Good luck! I think you're getting close and your luck will turn for you 🔧🏁
Fingers crossed it starts to cooperate with us soon. Hoping that I’m nearing the end of the issues 😂 stock examples of these things are getting harder to find
on the video you replaced the maf I told you to check and remove any kind of oil based air filter, I said it will claim another expensive maf sensor, there is no other way if u want to keep the maf based tune, it needs a dry oem like filter. keep it up brother ! that 911 is sweet !
Maf system is for sure sensitive. Really should have changed out coils with spark plugs. Especially if they have a 996 part number instead of a 997 number. You may also have a nasty vacuum/boost leak. I've owned and maintained a 996tt for last 10 years and I still absolutely love it.
This is the first video i've seen of yours and OH MAN are we living similar lives I bought one of my dream cars, E55 AMG. The "Reliable AMG" and fuck me i've never thrown this much money at something that doesn't love me before Misfires, pulleys, brakes, sensors, wheel weights flying off, sunroof leaks, belts shreddng themselves, you name it and this thing came with FULL service history from Mercedes Benz. I am the second owner In saying all that, when it runs well it is one of the most fantasic machines i've ever driven. I've driven it 400 miles in 6 months -_-
I owned a 912 some 50 years ago. Basically a 911 body with a 4-cyl Super 90 engine. It was only 5 or 6 years old, low miles (around 15k or so) and fun to whip around. That being said, it was a Porsche - finicky and always needing "something". Valve adjustments every 4k miles, synch the carbs, plugs/points/cap...always something. There was a tech at my local dealer who did the work on it named Fritz and, yes, he was from the old country with the heavy accent and all. He'd scare me when he'd put a tire iron into the rear wheel assembly with the car in gear and up on the rack to twist the engine over cylinder by cylinder to do the valve adjustments. Never have had the desire for another Porsche over all the ensuing years.
Unplug the Maf and see how it drives then. Have you done a thorough boost leak test? Look into a tune from markski tuning. He does great work and is very knowledgeable.
Tanner, you may have put the rotors on the wrong sides. The vanes don’t scoop the air from the outside of the rotor and feed to the center , they draw air from the center and “sling” to the outside of the rotor for better cooling.
Sorry to hear about the 911 problems. I agree that a PPI is recommended, especially this car with non OEM parts and looks like it was used for tracking. Ah the power of hindsight. I don't have your car skills and initially wanted to buy a 996 and now glad I stuck with my 944 Turbo - it's much easier to work on. Still a super fun underrated track car with 50/50 weight distribution, and can LS swap it with stock 951 transmission, just saying :) Good luck. You could rebuild the 996 engine at some point for additional content.
Sorry about the hassle bro. I had an S13 that I had to wrench on CONSTANTLY. It was 380hp CA18DET powered and so much fun to drive but omg it was constantly breaking down. I eventually sold it for Pennies compared to what I had into it but I still miss that car.
Idk if anyone has said it, but have you checked the coil packs? I had a bad misfire on a few cylinders and changed all the coil packs (after changing the spark plugs and it doing nothing) and it immediately fixed it.
I hope you got a Hitachi MAF Sensor. Once you modify the engine it’ll blow those sensors. I blew so many I just programmed it to drive well without it.
I felt the part about owning a car and not driving it because of problems. Imported an evo 4 from garage defend and immediately had issues with the rear diff. Kept fixing little problems and eventually sold it. Put on 1000 km in 7 months.
I've been told by a couple of Porsche fanboy buddies that if you want to do any more than change oil, it is probably faster to just drop the engine out. Watching you, that may be true.
A solid wheel repair shop can fix out of round wheels. Most tire shops don't have the equipment and know-how. The MAF sensor you bought should have a one year warranty. Might be worth pursuing so you have an extra one on hand on when it goes out again.
I own a 996 turbo, best thing you can do is buy a COBB and have SAM from ByDesign tune your car to a Maffless tune. Brings the car to life and feels like a proper GT car! (Get rid of the MAF, its junk)
Unplug the MAF sensor and see if it dies at idle. These cars have alot of check valve that are known to fail causing leaks which also cause rough idle. I would suggest doing a boost leak test!
Reasons why I’m debating buying a used MKV Supra. People highly modifying them and then asking crazy money. I just want a decent stock example and it’s getting harder to find one 🤣
i have been looking at your "older" VB WRX videos and i see this i cant help but laugh. i love your videos but you sold one money pit for a much larger one. much love. i do love your channel and im looking at getting into another WRX maybe. my dream car is a Caymen GT3 RS but im too poor for that lol
The 911 looks awesome with the new BBS and calipers! I rock the Advan APEX tires for my daily street car and sporty driving/autocross. Which tires are you going to go with? I like the APEX's more than the Pilot Sport 4S's.
@@Smeedia Seriously, consider the Advan Apex tires. A little better traction rating at 280 treadler, but not ridiculous 200 treadwear for the street. I wouldn't steer you wrong, you will like them better and have better grip overall.
You gonna wanna have that kind of stipled heat sheilding on the RX7 for sure. Truly wild how how a rotary can get EGT, but they are in essence a 2 stroke...
Also, lets get you into a BMW dawg, the natural progression is usually bmw to porsche, but I think you would probably like BMW life better in the end. e46 m3 if you want engine build content (rod bearings, vanos hub, valve adjustments, solid content there that needs revised and smeedia level walkthroughs) F80 if you want to be a bolt on boy and just have a reliable monster of a car.

As your subscribers, we need to guide you to the proper mix of unreliability to keep it interesting, but also content which will sustain viewership. As prices on the F8X platform are getting affordable to the masses the popularity in the platform is trending upwards, and there is starting to be a vaccum of content for the F8x platform as the traditional BMW bloggers are moving onto the G8x platforms to chase new views.
I’m not a big fan of the newer BMWs, an E46 or E36 is what I’d snag if I ever did get one. I can appreciate that the newer BMWs are fast and great cars. But they all just feel soulless to me. Same way I felt with the 22+ WRXs, great cars but they lack personality and soul 😭
@@Smeedia I can totally understand. I am an e46 m3 guy at heart, I've owned 2 and will own another, my car life has gone E46 m3, e36 M3, GD STi, e46 m3, GR STi, F80 m3, and lets face it, the f80 is the outlier of the bunch. I too thought it lacked some soul until i started living with it, and finally got it into some good back roads. Its soul is there, but its like a preppy family from the north east, you gotta look for its soul underneath the facade, and as a car it followed the king of soul, the e90 which was a tough act to follow. In a single car garage i couldnt ask for anything more, if it were a 2nd car in my situation then i'd definitely want an e chassis m3, any of them really. The electric steering everyone complained about? Mounds more feedback than the new gen cars. Compared to the new G8x the F8x has a lot more personality. Sad for the g8x really.
You have a vacuum leak... and possibly other issues but its not that bad. Should've done ignition coils when you did plugs sovyou know. Turbo breaks are slightly different so have fun with that. Loved those new bbs's should get a set myself and have originals reconditioned. It will get better if you keep at it. Good luck.
i had what seemed to be a misfire one my 996, plugs were done as well and over time it had the same hot film code when using my carsoft scanner. with a new maf from FCP euro i went with BOSCHE it fixed it
Go mafless tune. Can’t go wrong with Todd @protomotive. Also, if you have an IPD plenum, they can develop weird leaks. IPD offers a rebuild/fix kit but it can cause strange boost/MAF issues.
I was a little scared when you got that car… but I think you got it. I’m not too big on European cars… I’d love to own an Aston Martin, but I don’t want to give an arm and a leg when something goes wrong… maybe they should build with better quality parts even though it’s apparently a handmade car… they should make a car with Toyota and learn something about quality. My dream car as of now is A 92-96 Caprice/Impala/Roadmaster or a 2011 Grand Marquis/Crown Vic… 96 NSX is still #1, but reality is reality…lol
Lol, i couldn't relate more! I got 2002 911 turbo 60k miles Same here freking 19" wheels ride like junk all.engine mounts were shot car fights me on everything I do, working on it is just a nightmare Not to mention took me 60 hours to detail inside and correct paint GERMAN JUNK
@Smeedia interior took solid 5 Underside And 2 stage paint correction with adams graohene coating to finish off Came out amazing but not factory new And then its the little things like you said, not to mention i feel everything takes 2x longer because the car just hates me.

Hello yes question! Could you please make a video on how to e-tune? For example… I’m currently tuning my 11 sti with my Cobb AP and I got that whole recording down, but my tuner keeps saying I’m not doing it right and I can’t find a video on how to do it correctly. The instructions he sent are as follows… “When you reach a safe place, do one full throttle pull starting from 2000 rpms in 3rd gear and stop at 6800 rpms and make the shift into 4th but do not keep pulling. “ so what I’ve been doing was just going into 3rd and pressing the pedal to the floor till the engine red lines then I shift. Please help!
Oh boy, I feel for ya brother. Don't give up on her just yet. Put her on the side plate and finish the 7. After that, get back to the weinerschitzle. Maybe she's worth it in the end.
I’d say just sell it if you aren’t enjoying it I feel that pain all too well the amount of cars I’ve boughten fixed issues non stop and then bowed out is too many to list 😭
@@Smeedia unsure, was just curious! The (obviously newer) Macan requires the parking brake to be in “service mode” in order to do anything w the rear caliper/pads.
Damn that sucks. Cheer up dude hopefully it gets better. Also, remember, if you wanna move a car try pushing the spoke of the wheel to get it to move. I'm telling you man just give it a go hahaha
What a nightmare. I was gonna say, wouldn't it throw a code for that misfire? Guess she just didn't want to tell you until you showed it attention. Maybe you do sell it before it becomes a sunk cost, get a better example of one. I dunno, you're gonna have to weigh that dawg.

It does look good 😅🔥
So glad you got new wheels. That black/silver…ugh. Can’t go wrong with CH-Rs.
I can’t stand the black wheels. So I’m hyped to get those BBS on it 💪
Thanks for mixing it up. Love the Mazda build!
Have a Subaru video coming soon, full build on a 12 STI. Had some small things I had to knock out on the other cars 😅

Should have fitted 6 new coil packs
Always next time, the coilpacks look to have been replaced rather recently. They were not OEM
@@Smeedia I'd 100% bet it's a coilpack. So common on these cars but once replaced they're good for 50k+ mi
Owning a few 996TTs.. get rid of the air intake and go back to the stock intake.
I have to find one, the car came with that intake on it 😅
@@Smeedia Get one before installing the "new" MAF. Otherwise it will get eaten too
Sorry about the hassle bro. I had an S13 that I had to wrench on CONSTANTLY. It was 380hp CA18DET powered and so much fun to drive but omg it was constantly breaking down. I eventually sold it for Pennies compared to what I had into it but I still miss that car.
CA18 is an underrated engine, sometimes it be like that 🥲
I’m gutted for ya dude. Hoping the new new MAF sensor fixes the misfire 🤞
Hoping it sorts it out, things been a pain 😅
Idk if anyone has said it, but have you checked the coil packs? I had a bad misfire on a few cylinders and changed all the coil packs (after changing the spark plugs and it doing nothing) and it immediately fixed it.
They looked fairly new when I was in there. I debated swapping em out l, still might in the near future 😅
I hope you got a Hitachi MAF Sensor. Once you modify the engine it’ll blow those sensors. I blew so many I just programmed it to drive well without it.
I snagged a Bosch, if it keeps killing sensors I’m just going to covert it to speed density so we done need one 😂

A solid wheel repair shop can fix out of round wheels. Most tire shops don't have the equipment and know-how. The MAF sensor you bought should have a one year warranty. Might be worth pursuing so you have an extra one on hand on when it goes out again.
I’ll look into the warranty on it to see if I can return it. The wheels not wanting to balance properly gave me an excuse to get the BBS 😅
Get an OMNI or Cobb 911 map sensor 👌🏾 should be somewhat of an upgrade over the oem.
Probably find the MAF sensor doesn’t like that oiled filter you got on……
I hope it works for you man good luck
This video is so relatable with my STi love the videos as always!
I was going to say, the MAF seems to be the idle problem. Why didn't you replace the coil packs too?
They looked fairly new ish so didn’t feel the need to swap em out 👀

You should look at the map sensor data my WRX stopped running because the dam Cobb 4 bar failed to the over boost side .

Damn I thought Subaru spark plugs were a pain.
I’d take Subaru spark plugs all day long 😅
Did you bed the brakes? That could be why they felt like shit after you changed them.
That’s what I was attempting to do in the parking lot. 😂
Sounds a bit clogged from the intake, maybe. Could need an ECU tune and some Italian tune
It sounds like you need a compression/leak down test.
Did you have to put the ECU in any sort of “service mode” to do all the front brake work?
I did not, what service mode would it need?
@@Smeedia unsure, was just curious! The (obviously newer) Macan requires the parking brake to be in “service mode” in order to do anything w the rear caliper/pads.
Porsche problems are easy to fix..box of matches and some premium fuel
Never meet your dream car. The experience might misfire 🔥☠️
Pow right in the kisser 😭
Is what it is🤷🏻♂️
😎👍🏻👍🏻
TOM!!!!!! 🥳
Damn that sucks. Cheer up dude hopefully it gets better. Also, remember, if you wanna move a car try pushing the spoke of the wheel to get it to move. I'm telling you man just give it a go hahaha
There’s a ton of spiders on that 2.5, I refuse to stick my hands in there until I get that thing cleaned 😂
@@Smeedia fair 😅 give it a go when there's no spiders it works pretty well 🤷
Worth it.
14:20 i had a car once do something like that and it was a air leak
Woo!!
🥳🥳🥳
I am sorry you bought a 2001 Porsche for cheap (I assume). This is the type of car you need for your car build youtube content.
What a nightmare. I was gonna say, wouldn't it throw a code for that misfire? Guess she just didn't want to tell you until you showed it attention. Maybe you do sell it before it becomes a sunk cost, get a better example of one. I dunno, you're gonna have to weigh that dawg.
Ima think on it, hoping this is the end of the issues. It took SO long to finally throw a CEL
You went looking for a Porsche and found a bag of hammers. And yet you still bought it.
German car are almost always a pain in the ass. always hated working on them. Love them but hated them too much to own one.
I think this may be the last euro car I buy. I do not blame you at all. They’re picky little things
"The company who made the brakes is bankrupt" I can't imagine why...
😂😂😂😂
now I hear you've tried a maf sensor
