  1. Hi JFP. Where is the purge valve located? Is it under the intake manifold or is it up inside the front fender? It there a easy access point that I might be able to get to?
  2. Something to add, my mpg is not good (18 mpg with normal driving) and I notice a loss in horsepower. Also on occasion I notice a strong smell of gasoline when I park the car after fueling up. It usually goes away after I put a few miles on the car. This happens about 1 out of 20 times and only when I fuel up. I’m not sure if it’s related to my problem or not.
  3. What’s the easiest way to check the purge valve?
  4. Oh sorry. 2000 Boxster 2.7 manual. It has about 170k miles.
  5. I know this topic has been covered many times. I keep getting these codes after driving about 20 to 50 miles. I have replaced several parts going to the intake for small leaks after smoke testing numerous times. New MAF sensor and new OEM AOS. What’s left? I have not checked for leaks for the fuel evap portion. And I haven’t looked into the fuel system yet. What’s my best approach from here?
  6. Ok I replaced the pre cat O2 sensor on bank 2. Since doing so I haven’t gotten a CEL or any faults on the Durametric. I keep checking the Ready Status with the Durametric and haven’t gotten the Catalytic converter efficiency to show pass yet. All others have passed. How many miles does it normally take to get that one to pass too?
  7. I have P0150 and P1128 codes. I have checked the resistance on the pre cat O2 sensor and I get 3.8 ohm and no shorts to the sensor housing. I have the same results on bank 1 and bank 2. I’ve searched for vacuum leaks and have found nothing so far. Any suggestions?
  8. So I ohmed out the O2 sensor on pins 1 and 2 and got readings of 3.8 ohms. I got the same readings on both the pre cat sensors. Does that mean they are bad? I have some different codes today posted below.
  9. Ok so my CEL came on again today. I’ve been trying to get a long enough cycle on the car to pass emissions. I think this time it’s something different then the problems I had before replacing my AOS. Those errors seem to be fixed. Is this something as simple as replacing my O2 sensor. I replaced the secondary O2 sensors not too long ago. Are the O2 sensors the same for pre and post cat? I’ve attached a image of what my Durametric showed.
  10. I have a question about passing emissions. I replaced my AOS yesterday and have not had any CEL or any codes pop up. Today I hooked up my Durametric and checked the ready status. Below is what it showed. Does this mean it’s not ready to pass emissions? Do I need to drive the car more until everything says Pass before I go get tested?
  11. Got it! Thanks again for all your help!! Much appreciated 😊
  12. Sorry I miss read my gauge. It reads in Hg. I read about 1 Hg of vacuum.
  13. Could it be my AOS? I tried hooking up a vac gauge to where the oil cap is and it looked low. Less than 1 inch of water.
