    A misfire but no codes? Sounds like someone needs to look at the TRA/FRA, MAF volume, and O2 sensor readings and compare them to known good running car. Where are you located?
  2. Loren
    I think there is a rev limit in neutral on a Tiptronic but not 6 speed. Which is your car?
  3. Loren
    Yes, the part number will depend on the color of the leather.

    986.424.981.05.VRJ Shifter in Aluminum and Black Leather -- MSRP $496.96 (as of June 2006) -- I do not know if the horseshoe comes with that or not 996.424.980.22.8YR Handbrake in Aluminum and Black Leather -- MSRP $392.32 (as of June 2006)

    Could be the MAF is damaged.

    I think Jeff has a pic of Peter changing a Boxster wiring harness - what a mess. As I recall it was 8 plus hours... Good Luck!

    Any codes? Did you disconnect the battery for 5 minutes so the DME can re-learn the intake volume/pressures?
  9. Loren
    On older Porsches you could swap the ring gear to the other side - I have never tried it on a 996 or 986 transmission.

    I sent you a PM...

    Remove and install heater/fresh-air blower motor with installed heating/fresh-air unit. Removal 1. Remove footwell bulkhead and right air guide. Pull off electrical plug connection on the blower motor and remove wire from the holder. The figure shows the heating/fresh-air unit when removed. 2. Pull off electrical plug connection on the ballast resistor and undo both fastening screws on the housing lid. The ballast resistor and housing lid are a spare part. Note When the housing lid is removed, the blower motor is simultaneously detached from its guide. Hold the blower motor and carefully remove it in downward direction. Installation 1. Install blower motor and fasten housing lid. 2. Tighten fastening screws carefully (plastic housing). 3. Engage electrical plug connections and perform a function test.

    The charcoal filter is more expensive but it will also remove some odors from the air. Either will work fine.

    Hmm... the dealer should have been able to see the charge rate (voltage) with their PST2 or PIWIS. They should also have done a specific gravity test on each of the battery cells. If you had other electrical problems I might suspect the ignition switch but it sure sounds like a bad battery to me.

    P1123 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 1 (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Lean Threshold P1125 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 1 (Cylinders 4 - 6) - Lean Threshold P1128 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Rich Threshold P1130 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 4 - 6) - Rich Threshold Very odd... This would indicate that your engine was running too rich for the DME to correct (P1123 & P1125) and also too lean for the DME to correct (P1128 & P1130). I guess the best thing to do is wait for it to come back and read them again.

    You need to read all the posts in that thread - it is covered on the second page of posts here.
  17. Loren
    US or RoW sport springs? RoW will be a little lower. If you go sport springs then I really suggest that you get a kit with springs, shocks, and sway bars. If you use the stock shocks with (shorter) sport springs you could damage the shocks.
  18. Loren
    Have a look at the thread here. Several methods to fix the problem - you can decide if you want to DIY. At least the horns work - they are also known to go bad and die too.
  19. Loren
    Yes, set means two matched springs. Springs come in a set of 2 for the front and a different part number for the rear set. There are two different part numbers for the rear springs depending on your VIN. If don't know which one then PM me with your VIN and I will tell which rear spring set to order.

    What fuse blew? Location number please? Take B3 out and see if it still happens - if it does you have an alarm problem. If it doesn't still happen then you have a two tone horn problem - likely a short in the steering wheel.
  21. Loren
    Front springs: 996.343.531.04.504 Stock coil spring set (marked brown yellow) Rear springs: 996.333.531.05.504 Stock coil spring set (marked brown yellow) TO VIN numbers (ending in): 991S6 20455 991S6 50542 991S6 20480 991S6 50585 996.333.531.38.504 Stock coil spring set (marked brown yellow) FROM VIN numbers (ending in): 991S6 20456 991S6 50543 991S6 20481 991S6 50586

    Option three is a plug-patch. That is a patch (done from the inside) that also has a plug attached to it. So, the plug is pulled through the hole securing the patch on the inside of the tire - all are glued.
  23. Loren
    US or RoW? stock or sport? If you are changing suspensions I think you want a kit that includes springs, shocks and sway bars?
  24. Loren
    If you hear a horn beep when you lock the doors that means you have an alarm zone open (or not functioning). This could cause the alarm to trigger. The alarm system has it's own horn/siren. The alarm system has it's own controller and fuse C3 - and it is 15A. The fuse B3 is 25A (not 30A) and is for the driving two tone horns - operated from the steering wheel.

    Dealers were supposed to replace the 00 caps long ago -- but many were missed. The 00 caps are known to leak. The newer 01 caps (usually) don't leak.
