My windows have started dropping as though the release for the top has been opened when I go over a curb or rail road tracks (and in some cases normal Louisiana roads). Is there a sensor that needs to be cleaned or replaced to remedy this malady? Cheers, Vernon

recommend Boxster shop in South Houston area

I trailer my boxster from Louisiana to Sports Car Repair 5711 Star Lane in Houston. Call Cliff there. They are honest, and the labor rates are very reasonable. -
Well my issues are resolved. To make myself feel better I am just going to assume that the pump needed to be replaced anyway, but the thing that made the biggest difference in the end was to correct my mistake. I replaced the fuse for the fuel pump, but did not re-insert the new fuse into the proper slot. Once the fuse was in the correct position the care worked beautifully. Happy motoring Vernon

Well it is still not starting. I have added the DME relay in the trunk to the list of things I replaced. As best I can tell there is fuel coming to the engine. I disconnected the line going into the fuel filter and tried to start the car with a pan to catch the gas. Never got any in the pan. Is that a valid test? About to save up for the tow plus mechanic fees. Ouch!

Thanks so much for your feedback. I got the panels off the bottom of the car this afternoon and didn't break any clips. I just tried a little harder after I figured out how easy they would be to replace. I do have to confess that I didn't really need to remove the panel with the 6 clips in it to get to the fuel filter. All you need to remove to get to that is the panel with about 10 10mm plastic nuts. I really appreciate the support from the forums. Cheers

I'm looking for advice. I have a 1997 boxster that isnt starting anymore. The engine turns over but it sounds like it isn't getting fuel. I have replaced the fuse and the relay even though I couldn't determine the orignal ones were bad. (that part was cheap) I then bought a fuel pump and installed it my self. Getting the plastic ring off the gas tank to remove the fuel sender was a serious pain, but I made it through. I have a fuel filter, but have no idea how to get the clips off the large plastic sheet hiding it under my car. I have heard this refered to as a splash guard, under plate, and I have made up a few names for it myself. If anyone has advice on how to get the clips out without breaking them, or a cheap place to go buy the clips, I would much appreciate it. If there are any other ideas you might have about what is causing the problem, that would be appreciated as well. I have been through the guides on Pedro's http://www.pedrosgarage.com/Site_3/Replace_the_Fuel_Filter.html and Pelican's http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Boxster_Tech/04-BASICS-Fuel_Filter/04-BASICS-Fuel_Filter.htm Both sites are great, but i am just no skilled enough to close the gap between myself and the information they put together.
