Recently had a full service on my 968, with all filters , plugs, distributor rota/ cap being changed. Car was faultless for a few weeks after that ( used daily ) but recently has started acting up, it will start and run fine, with a steady strong idle speed. But as soon as the car is put into gear to pull away / reverse off parking space, the rev's drop, and the engine stalls. it restarts fine, but you have to keep the engine revs up, to keep it going.... take your foot off, and it dies..... drive off and keep moving, and it coughs and hesitates for a few mins, and once up to temp, the idle is constant, if a little low/slow in traffic. any pointers? I'm thinking idle control valve?, or FPR.... :(
