Sounds like a bad fuel level sensor. Any dealer or shop with a PST2 (or PIWIS) tester should be able troubleshoot this down to the faulty component.

Model 996 or 997? you posted in both forums (which is a no-no) Model year? RoW or US? Accelerator pedal? It might help if you tell what you are trying to accomplish.

From what I can tell a P0702 can generate a sub-code (Porsche code only). Here are the sub codes and their meaning: 58 Control module faulty (test internal watchdog) 59 Control module faulty (test external watchdog) 62 Control module faulty (RAM) 63 Control module faulty (ROM) 64 Control module faulty (EEPROM critical for normal function) All of the troubleshooting says to replace the Tip control module except for code 58 which says to re-program the module. That might be worth a try before replacing it.

They are only held on with double-stick tape. You need a hairdryer (for heat), some dental floss (to saw away the glue) and some 3M adhesive remover (to clean the remaining glue off).

Remove the plastic covers from the pivot points and then remove the bolts.

Did you try using Search? This has been discussed here many times before. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...&hl=lighter

No, what was said is that some early cars may not have had them installed - or perhaps the dealer prep forgot to reinstall them. My June 1999 build car does have all of them. I think the air flow under the car will be better with all the underbody covers in place. On a CGT the whole undercarriage is covered and very smooth.

The only underbody cover that is different is the front cover for C2 or C4 - otherwise there is no difference for any model year.

Ignition switch? or did it just pop out of gear?

Solid spoke: Rubber valve stem and ribbed surface behind spokes Hollow spoke: Metal valve stem and smooth surface behind spokes

There is no idle control valve on a MY02 car. MY00 on all have egas. I would have a look at the throttle butterfly and see if it is carbon'ed up. Also look for loose vacuum hoses, dirty air filter and potentially bad gas.

Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost (at the top of any page). Sunset Imports sells at dealer cost plus 15%.

I don't think so. My 996 has been hacked for blinking sidemarkers and there was no need to change any bulbs.

There does not appear to any differences in wiring between US and RoW. All front end lights are controlled by the "CU Bug" (controller) so I would would bet that there is a setting to program that with a PIWIS. Either I or Tool Pants will try and check next time we see a 987/997 in the local shop.

That software is reviewed here.

It is definitely not Porsche factory parts.

Could RMS or IMS if it from the joint between the engine and transmission. My first RMS leak was at 9000 miles.

The radio alarm wire goes into a connector so there is need to tape it unless you cut (or remove it) from the connector.

There was a problem on some MY2000 and newer cars where the power steering return hose could cause noises (TSB 1/00 4895 Power Steering Return Hose -- dated 4-21-00). If the problem is not that hose then it will need to be narrowed down to the pump in the engine compartment or the steering gear in the front.

Still... photos that allow us to read the writing on the boxes might help.

All of this is covered in TSB 2/98 6315 Installing the Aerokit Front Spoiler, Rear Spoiler and Side Member Panels -- dated Sept 4, 1998. "4.0 Disconnect the retractable spoiler warning light. 4.1 Remove instrument cluster according to the boxster Technical Manual, Group 7, Operation 7018. 4.2 Remove spoiler warning light bulb by turning 180 degrees. 4.3 Reinstall instrument cluster."

2007 Porsche Boxster and Boxster S to Feature New, More Powerful Engines Porsche's award-winning roadsters to receive new powerplants with VarioCam Plus and both horsepower and torque boosts ATLANTA – June 19, 2006 – The 2007 Porsche Boxster and Boxster S mid-engined sports cars will be given more power and torque via new engines featuring Porsche VarioCam Plus. For the 2007 model year, the capabilities of the drop-top roadsters are also extended with an updated version of the optional Tiptronic® S automatic transmission and additional functions of the optional Sport Chrono Package. The engines in the Boxster and Boxster S roadsters are now equipped with Porsche’s VarioCam Plus, which provides both variable intake valve timing and lift control. Thanks to this system, the Boxster and Boxster S engines have characteristically strong pulling power, combined with high peak-output and impressive fuel efficiency. The engine in the Boxster S has been enlarged from 3.2 to 3.4 liters, and now develops 295 horsepower at 6250 rpm – 15 horsepower more than its predecessor. Torque has also swelled 15 pound-feet, to 251 lb.-ft. The Boxster S sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.1 seconds (0-100 km/h, 5.4 sec.) – a tenth of a second quicker than the previous model. This open sports car’s top test-track speed has risen 2 mph to 169 mph (272 km/h). The 2.7-liter Boxster engine now develops an additional 5 horsepower, bringing peak output to 245 horsepower. Torque has also increased, from 199 to 201 lb.-ft., peaking 100 rpm earlier with a broad torque plateau from 4600 to 6000 rpm. With the standard 5-speed manual transmission, the ’07 Boxster accelerates from a standstill to 60 mph in just 5.8 seconds (0-100 km/h, 6.1 sec.), and has a top test-track speed of 160 mph (258 km/h). With the optional six-speed manual gearbox, top test-track speed increases to 162 mph (260 km/h). For 2007, the Boxster and Boxster S can be optioned with the revised Tiptronic S transmission, which features new hydraulics and electronics to improve responsiveness, and also provides variable shift programs. Combined with the optional Sport Chrono Package, the sporting characteristics of both these mid-engined roadsters are enhanced. With the Sport mode engaged, up- and downshifts are only made at engine speeds above 3000 rpm, and downshifts for engine braking are subject to less delay and take place at higher engine speeds. In the manual-shift mode, up-shifts are not made automatically when the engine reaches its rev limiter. Standard on the 2007 Boxster models is Porsche’s Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which continuously monitors the air pressure in each tire. Through its warning function, TPMS not only offers extra safety, and the reduced risk of tire damage, but it also monitors any gradual loss of pressure from the tires, helping prevent inconsistent, or unequal tire wear and excessive fuel consumption. On both new Boxster models, service access has been improved, as the coolant and engine-oil filler caps are now located behind an easily accessible flap, so that better use can be made of the rear trunk. Also for the first time, the Boxster and Boxster S are available with the 19-inch, forged alloy, two-tone wheels that were developed for the new 911® Turbo. For the Boxster models they are offered as an option in sizes 8J x 19 (front) and 9.5J x 19 (rear). The 2007 Porsche Boxster and Boxster S go on sale in North America in August. U.S. and Canadian pricing for the Boxster is $45,600 (USD) and $63,600 (CAD), respectively. Pricing for the ’07 Boxster S is $55,500 (USD) and $77,300 (CAD).
