:hun: The SE5 is suppose to always start engine in N no matter what gear it was in. The dealer should be able to know something from that. Sorry your having trouble, hope it all gets figged out:2thumbs:

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Nice work. Now then. How about if EVERYBODY with a 998, who has never replaced these two hoses, replaces them this spring before the season starts. How to get that word out? Imagine what a trouble free riding season you'll have.

:hun: If you mean the engine will start in any gear. Yes, it does not need to be in neutral. After the engine starts an SE will automatically shift to neutral.

My wife's 2012 Spyder RT Limited started doing the same thing last Friday. We just bought it last Thursday. It only had 1800 miles on it. Yesterday I and a friend took off all the side covers and replaced the battery, fuel filter and spark plugs. We just got back from a 70 mile ride and it is still doing it. She was able to manually downshift and keep the rpm's up most of the time. But it still stalled out a few times. The dealer I bought it from is 400 miles away. There are no check engine icons showing. I am going to call the dealer tomorrow.

Thanks for the pictures. I took the side panels off again & replaced both map sensor vacuum lines (even though only was cracked). Put it all back together and my wife and I went for a ride. We just got back and everything is working again. It is down shifting automatically and did not stall out. Thanks again.
