[Jamie '92 968]

Went to see Pete at RS Barn yesterday.
First of all... Flash, I owe you big time for directing me to Pete! WOW! What an experience!
I spent the better part of the day with Pete (and his protege, Max), going over my car and checking the condition of things I had been concerned about, as well as a bunch of things I never thought about.
Pete was certainly not following the model of most places you go for service where you only talk to a guy at a desk and never get near the car or the mechanic who does the work. This was more like a workshop class on the 968. I was under the car poking and proding and getting a thorough explanation of everything they were doing and any questions I had (and I had a lot).
These guys are clearly experts on the 968, but more importantly, they were great at explaining how things work and what needs to be done. Max, who did most of the wrench turning while I was there, did a better job of communicating technical information than a lot of the engineers I work with every day.
Great guys!!!
So... the shudder problem... well, it didn't show itself yesterday! Damn those intermittent problems!
The good news is that we replaced the fuel filter and air filter, and cleaned the MAF sensor (there was some oil in that area), and the car now hat 20% more horsepower!!! I tried and tried to get the shudder to come back on the drive home, but it didn't happen.
If it doesn't appear in the next week or so, I'm declaring victory!!!
Thanks to Pete and RS Barn, I have new found confidence in my car that comes from knowledge, from having my concerns and questions about the unknown answered, and from knowing that Pete will be there when I need him.
Before RS Barn, and before discovering the power of this forum (and others like 968forums.com) I was so frustrated that I was on the verge of selling my car, but that's all changed now.
I can't thank you enough, Flash, for helping me trouble shoot this issue, and for sending me to Pete...
RS Barn is like I made up a dream about the best car repair experience I could imagine, and it came true. (over the top? not at all. You had to be there!)
THANKS PETE! YOU'RE THE BEST!!!!!!!
