Janet, its your car, so whatever you want to do, just do it. But a Porsche should have a Porsche engine, just saying.

But I know exactly how you feel, the whole Porsche mechanics can be so bloody hard to diagnose if you don't have the Porsche knowledge, Pusha has a transplant from a 2.4 to a SC3.0 and my mechanic who is a VW and mopar guy just can't get it running. It still sits up on blocks in OZ and will be waiting for us when we get home in 2015, he has occassional Porsche guys look at it for a few hours, but still doesn't run smooth, just starts up and dies almost immediately. Funny when we put the engine in, it started up almost immediately, no oil pressure, shut her down almost immediately, the oil thermostat had been put in backwards, by who ever rebuilt the engine, dumb ass mech. Anyways, it was diagnosed by my mech and we took the motor back out, turned it round, put it back, started her up again, no probs, timing was really advanced, tuned it up, then now it just starts and dies. Went through the whole fuel system for pressures all up to spec, went through the electrics, all good, were going through the whole vacuum system ****, didn't find any leaks, got the 5hits just spent time putting the interior back together, new roof liner, and the windows back in, posted to USA, put the cover on and left. Poor Pusha.

Just saying they can be very frustrating, but you shouldn't give up, especially when you have a Porsche mech who is willing to look at it for you, within driving distance, wish Rick lived in Oz!
