    Hi everyone, I also have a noise coming from the engine bay. It sounds like a grinding, kind of like when an engine is running with low or no oil. I do have the correct oil level and I change the oil as required. The car runs fine with plenty of power. 1 thing I want to mention, a while back I replaced the AOS and there is a plastic round canister with a really small hose that I broke the little tip on the canister that connect to the hose. I fixed it by connecting the hose to the canister with a wd40 can straw, by connecting the hose to the straw and glued the straw to the canister. It fitted perfectly, but I dont know if there is an obstruction somewhere there or if that canister supply oil somewhere and if that is the reason of my noise. Please help

    ****, RFM, you are good! I stuck the key in, turned it, pressed the button, and VOILA - they're mated again!!! Thank you bunches. I guess the flashing remote doesn't mean much in this case. The car started just fine and I'm letting her run for awhile, in place. I would never have figured that out without you - many, many thanks. Now, if I could indulge you (and any others), the console (near the radio) red light flashes continuously when the car is shut down - is that normal - ? Hey, I'm sorry, I'm a new owner of the 'computer on wheels' and all these crazy little gizmos are panicking me! ;-) From what I've read here, the slightest misstep will cause a meltdown! I know you guys (and maybe some gals) are really into the technical stuff, so please forgive me for posting what you probably feel are superfulous issues. But I really want to get 'up to speed' on this magnificent creature. At some point, I'll be able to help out with the problems other people experience. I'm a BBQ nut and was on the BBQ List for years (Google me - Bostonbutt - and you'll see some recipes you may like... my way of somewhat paying you back). Feel free to email me personally about food issues at jeff.lipsitt@verizon.net Again, thanks for solving my problem, RFM. Best regards - Jeff in Boston Hi, how exactly you did the pressing and turning. I have the same issue and tried your post but is not working for me. I even tried both of my keys. Thanks

    Hi, so this headers are without cats correct? Did you installed both 02 sensors? Did you get a CEL?
  7. yuyokatana
    Hi, how about if the non catted headers have 2 holes for both 02 sensors? Will I still need to flash the computer? Or will I get a CEL light?? Thank You
  8. yuyokatana
    Hi, did you installed both of your 02 sensors to the headers? Did you get any CEL? Thank you I am planing on doing the same. BTW IMO sounds great...
  9. yuyokatana
    Thank you guys for the quick response. Hereit is my confusion with your reply. Loren... You said that On US cars you will get a CEL if either the before cat or after cat O2 sensors are not present. But in my case both O2 sensors will be installed on each header. Sergiu... On your car then you have a non cated header with 1 O2 sensor on the non cated header and 1 O2 sensor on the NHP midpipes, correct?? The reason I want to install headers is because after troubleshooting i have found that the drivers side Catalyc Converter on the factory header (1 piece header and cat)is bad (code0430) I already cleared the CEL twice and the same code comes back. On my car the passenger side Catalyc converter was already replaced by Porsche under warranty(8yrs or 80,000miles) but with my luck now, the drivers side is bad, but the car is over 80,000 miles and the warranty is over. And for me doesnt make any sense to buy a factory header/cat for almost 1k.

    Good Day to all Here is my question. I am planing on install headers to my 01 non S Boxster. The headers are without cats but they have the holes for both O2 sensors. Also I am going to eliminate the rear 2 cats or resonators with bypass pipes straight to the factory muffler. Will installing headers without cats triger a CEL light/ Even tough both O2 sensor will be installed on the headers? Can I do that? Please help me clearing my question, I am Active Duty Military and about to be deployed and want to do this during my Christmas vacation. Thanks in advance.... Angel...

    I had the same issue with code 1130, after I blew the air box I guess the MAF got dirty. I cleaned the MAF with MAF cleaner and Kaboom cel gone. Try it!!!!
  13. yuyokatana
    Hello I had the same code, and I cleaned the MAF and kapufff code gone!!! Try it.....
  14. yuyokatana
    I have the same problem, with the noise on the rear. Lifted the car checked everything, nothing is loose, broken or nothing. But I have noticed that after i wash the car i always spray WD-40 to lubricate everything and to make it easier to clean next time, the noise goes away for a while, also when is raining and water is running underneath the car the noise is gone also. The description of the noise is a clunk when going over humps ect. 2001 Boxster non S. I will appreciatte any help. The Lonely Sailor
  15. yuyokatana
    HelloI need some help. I have this clunk noise on the front of the car. Cant tell if left or right. I lifted the car on a lift, all suspension rubber parts are good, I shacked everything underneath including both tires nothing makes noise. What could it be?? 01 Boxster. Thanks Angel...
