  1. Past hour
  2. Today
  3. Porsche dropped that part in 2008 so it might be best to find one at a salvage yard. Sorry.
  4. 1998 986. The hp hose connection at the power steering pump continues to leak. I have tried sealing with teflon tape and pipe joint compound. I'm not sure how much torque to put on the nut. Any ideas?
  5. Yesterday
  6. Last week
  7. Thanks for sharing this. Is there a wiring diagram to check the wiring and pin connections? I am assuming I will be checking the MAF pins and some points in the fuse box.
  8. Earlier
  9. I'm going to remove and clean the injectors I think
  10. Could be a bad MAF (or wrong MAF) or a bad connection. Check the wiring and pin connections also.
  11. So, after Loren, pointed it out. I reconnected my Durametric today and it did pop up two codes - P0120: porsche fault code 115: MAF below limit & P0107: porsche fault code 229: something about Ambient Pressure Sensor Looked them up and P0107 pointed to pressure in the intake manifold - checked the reading for ambient pressure sensor and it was within range at 1005 hPa (1.005 bar). Started the car and it did not change at all, even when RPM goes up to 3000. Is that normal? I deleted this code and drove around a bit (~4 miles) and rechecked the code did not come back. Measured the readings for Mass Airflow and Hot Film MAF and they are both in the range ~19 kg/h. Still disconnected the MAF and drove and it is little rough when idling but very smooth pickup from stop and NO STALLING". Then, connected the MAF sensor, the pickup is relatively jerky, but did not stall. MAF voltage is 1.2V at <1000RPM and ~3V at 3000 RPM Does it point to faulty MAF?
  12. Also, interestingly, if I just lift my foot off brake and let it roll, before accelerating - it works every time - no stalling.
  13. I bought this car in 2018 with ~30k miles. NO water intrusion since then. If it was there earlier I can't say. Having said that that is quite a few miles without that issue. Still I am curious as to what makes you ask that question. Are you thinking some electronics under the driver seat? Also, I am new to Durametric, and have only run the general scan for faults. Not sure if there is way to scan for individual components (not that I would know which component(s) to scan for in this case)
  14. Are you sure Durametric does not show any pending fault codes? Have you had any water intrusion? Wet carpets? etc.
  15. Hello there, I am new to this forum and may not be listing all the necessary information, so please let me know what other information is necessary to troubleshoot this issue. My 2000 C2 stalls when gassing from stop (esp embarrassing at traffic lights), it has 69K miles on it and I have tried to troubleshoot and replaced several parts but not able to pin-point the source of this issue. Happens to it when it is hot (>180 deg) or cold. It seems to have started after the fuel pump change. The following parts have been changed so far (within last 500 miles); - New fuel pump and fuel filter - New fuel pressure regulator - New MAF - New Throttle body Durametric (Enthusiast version) does not show any error codes. Any thoughts, much appreciated.
  16. Serial # 5009357 - I added the 1 my apologies
  17. It's a 4462 if that makes a difference I did the code 0598 and it just tells me to WAIT
  18. Hello. My 1999 Porsche Boxster battery went dead and now I cannot get my radio to work. I cannot find the radio code in my paperwork. It's a CDR 220 serial #W50091357 Thank you.
  19. WHT 000 324 hexagon head bolt (combi) 6X28 $1.75 each (US MSRP) - 11 required WHT 000 322 hexagon head bolt (combi) M6X12 $1.70 each (US MSRP) - 2 required WHT 000 321 hexagon head bolt (combi) M6X40 $1.70 each (US MSRP) - 3 required
  20. After months of research and diagnostics, it was determined that the valve body on my 2013 CS, (207k miles), needed replacing. I have the new valve body but I have also read that I should, (must), replace the mounting bolts. Problem is I cannot find any reference to the bolts on any part sites. No part numbers or anything. I know they are a very low torque value +90* but I a very wary of reusing the old ones. Does anyone know a part number or a source for these bolts? Thanks Shaun
  21. That's really cool! My '99 986 recently just stopped shifting into gears and I've just started going down the troubleshooting rabbit hole. I'll definitely add this to my smoking gun list (give this a try and see if it fixes you problem list)! Thanks for posting!
  22. Thank you for these guides. Based on what is observed it refers me now to Chapter 11 (0-142). Is this information available? Odd thing is that after clearing the transmission fault codes, they have not yet reappeared. I will go through the steps here and I may also try to remove and replace the filter and ATF this weekend. I’m also looking for a local mechanic as my regular place does not work on Tiptronic transmissions.
  23. Here are your troubleshooting guide(s)... P1818.pdf P1823.pdf
