    Soon after I started driving my 991 GT3 (around 300 miles) the car went into limp home mode. The dealer ran a diagnostic and determined a fuel high pressure sensor went tango uniform and replaced it. The car ran fine until last Saturday (around 3800 total miles), when it went into limp home mode again. The dealer once again ran a diagnostic, and found 2 old stored codes - one for the PDK, and one for oil pressure - but the car ran fine. They've checked it again several times - after a cold start, a warm start, after having driven the car several miles - and it runs fine with no more codes. I'm going to pick it up today.

    Has anyone here run into anything like this?

    Never had any issues with my GT3 whatsoever (a couple thousand miles so far) despite driving it fairly hard most days of the week, not a single thing in a year of use.

    By the way, mine goes in for its service next Wednesday, and I spoke to my authorized dealer's service director who I always deal with about supplying Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s. He advised me that they (Porsche) have their own supply and that if I needed a new set its "not a problem". Take that for whatever its worth.

    Well, I picked the car up and it ran just fine, so I'm clueless (which my wife says is my normal state, anyway).
