    Any recommendations to bring this thing to in North Jersey. I have lost interest on working on it and just want the car to run. Since i've never actually driven it more than a few miles. Thanks
  2. vosko
    He mentioned the pads for the IMS chain could be worn out and causing the timing on that side to be out of sync?
  3. vosko
    Everything passed testing @ ecudoctors. Spoke to Porsche specialist and he thinks it might be related to the IMS....
  4. vosko
    Just spoke to ecudoctors, i am going to send out the dme,immobilizer, and key to them to test. Will report back if they find a problem, only downside if there is a problem is the $675 to rebuild DME and more to replace the immobilizer......
  5. vosko
    I have access to a thermal imager, will check the DME temps. Everything i have taken apart or touched looks in as new condition. That is why i am also leaning towards a DME issue. I am going to email ecudoctors and see if this something they can diag if i send it in. Maybe when its not 100 degrees outside in NJ, i can continuity test some wiring but that still doesn't make sense. Because why would it work fine until it warms up...
  6. vosko
    Yes, But what one odd thing. I cannot clear the AC code. It crashes the durametric software. So i thought that was real weird. EDIT* actually, i think i tried it once with ignition on and once with car running. Same result, i will double check that though with the car running though. I have taken a few VERY short trips with the DME unbolted and it hasn't acted up yet. I will try a longer trip after i change the camshaft sensor. Still waiting for it to show-up and plan for it to take a while since the car will probably die again... haha
  7. vosko
    Yeah, I ordered the camshaft sensor. I am just hoping to not swap more parts and find out it was a DME issue to begin with. I tested the original crankshaft sensor and it ohm'd out correctly. I figured since other people have had them fail its worth it to just have a new one in there anyway. I am chasing my tail a bit with this so far
  8. vosko
    I meant the other three codes in the AC.ABS, and cluster. Makes me think the DME is bad. I did inspect it and could not find anything obviously burnt or bad cold solder joints. The car will run fine cold, warm up then start missing and stall. You can get it started again if you give it throttle, then you have a 50% chance of it being driveable.... It will not give those codes or CEL until warmed up, Also it won't even CEL or give those codes until it stalls a few times.
  9. vosko
    I will order up a camshaft position sensor.... Any idea on those other codes ?
  10. vosko
    I borrowed a Durametric, cleared the codes then drove it around. The DME was attached to the firewall and seemed VERY hot. I have it loose at the moment but the car is still acting wonky. These are the current DME codes....
  11. vosko
    So the car sat overnight, started right up today and it drove a mile back home. Sure seems temperature related to me. The problem i have is similar but not identical. It sure looks like it will be really fun to try and trace the CPS wiring....My friend just happens to be in town Monday morning, so we are going to hook up his Durametric and see what comes up.
  12. vosko
    A friend has a Durametric but he is 90 minutes away. Let me see what i can do. Thanks for the suggestions!

    I am using a basic Autel AL519 scanner, did a little searching and found a video of a gentlemen diagnosing his 911 with an Autel Maxidiag Elite MD802. I think it might be time to upgrade. The MD802 showed dme/abs/alarm codes/faults etc in addition to regular OBD2 codes. I have multiple makes of cars, so it does not make a lot of sense to buy something that only works on this vehicle. The Maxidiag looks like it should do the trick? Video link below.

    I purchased this car with this problem from the second owner with 120k miles. If you let the car idle up to operating temp it will stall, then it will not restart without giving throttle. Eventually won't start or idle at all. and I will get a CEL and P0335 CKP code. Randomly i received a P0012 code for camshaft position timing over-retarded bank 1 once. I read up about the CKP issues and ordered a new Bosch sensor and installed it. Same problems, popped open the DME, looks brand new inside. Previous owner had a damaged immobilizer repaired due to water damage. I decided to try my luck and take it for a 1 mile ride. It stalled, got it going again, another stall, going again. Finally parked it at my destination, came out two hours later. Crank and no start, and tach is dead. If i leave the key in the on position, i can hear a relay blip on for a second then the tach will jump up to 5k rpm every few seconds, without cranking. I swapped the relays side to side same issue, except the top two which are different. There is currently no CEL on. I am not afraid to dig into this thing but the only diagnostic tool i have access to is a generic Autel OBD2 scanner. I searched and everyone says CKP sensor..... seems like there was nothing wrong with the old one. Could it be a DME problem ?
