@@BobJones-ib4xh shouldn’t matter what temp your car is it should always start strong/quick.. you should change the cable like I did sounds like you have the same problem
This is one of two 997 starter replacement videos I watched today. I hope that isn’t a sign of impending doom for my starter. Anyway, just wanted to leave a cautionary warning: make sure you get that plenum back in there and sealed properly. If not you get unmetered air in/vacuum leak and start jacking with fuel trims and such.
Yeah, just wanted to throw that out there. Even minor vacuum leak can bringing in unmetered air causing your car to add fuel making your mixture rich, washing the oil off the cylinders and then…bore scoring. You could and actually should check your fuel trims with a scan tool to see where they are at. Enjoying the progress!
So true...on fitting mine back on my 997 after starter motor change...That rear black inlet pipe was a pain to get back on 😢...I've been told there's no need to take the 2 off only 1....but how on earth you can squeeze new motor on I found impossible....😢 I just changed Alternator on mine this week straight forward job but like on above video I too snapped that water connection ...lucky enough Porsche indy online here in UK only £7.45...👍
1st thanks for the video! I thought it’s easier to change the starter from underneath this way you don’t have to remove all those items. Don’t agree and why or why not? Thanks again!
Lower the engine 😮....No need fella You have plenty of access on top.. I done this job on my 997 in the past... Only hassle I had was rear black inlet pipe to connect back on but got there in the end..👍
@@MuRhoNupe87 specs are in my wheel video! (I think) tires are 305/19/35 rear I think and 275/19/35 I think in the front and I forget the offset of the wheels but 9 in the front 11 in the rear I think

True test is when the car is hot.
My car has that same hesitation but only when it's hot. Once it cools down there are no issues when starting.

@@K1dPhresh1 that’s a good note, so far the car drives great, and everything was tight when we put it back in so hopefully that means vacuum leaks

@@geoffreyokamoto133 the starter dusts on top of the trans/motor I don’t see it possible to do the job from below only
Nice work. My 02 sounds exactly like yours. I'm going to lower the engine to get at the starter. Way easier.
Definitely will give you more clearance/ access that’s a smart play

You have plenty of access on top..

@@mikefranky need? No. Want, yes. I’ve got a stack of while I’m in theres to do.
@@YogisGarage ....Stack of what?
@@mikefranky “while I’m in there…”
Great video. Quick question though. What size wheels/tires are on your 997? Considering changing mine...

@NLG001 Thanks. I have 20s on my 997. I'm thinking about going back to 19s. Your fitment looks pretty good. Did you lower it?
@ yeah, we installed coilovers on the car in another video! Likely going to have them rebuilt/track aligned
Oh man the spark knock on startup, it sounds like a 6.0L powerstroke for a brief moment LOLOLOL
